Column Selection in matrix / table visualization

[nirupreddy]

I have a table with columns a,b,c,d. Is there a way where I can show only columns selected based on a slicer?
Suppose if user chooses A and B only column a,b should be displayed on visualization.

Hi @nirupreddy,

Normally, if you create the slicer with A,B,C,D and select the value on the slicer, the other visual will be filtered by the value you selected.

If you still need help, could you share your data sample and your desired output so that we could help further on it.

You could try a bit of pivoting so that you get a model that looks something like this:

week - column - value

1 - a - 10

1 - b - 30

...

6 - d - 65

Then you could try putting the column attribute into the columns in the matrix, and that ought to work in a filter?

week	a	b	c	d
1	10	30	40	25
2	20	40	79	30
3	40	23	47	85
4	29	41	70	55
5	30	56	90	100
6	36	77	51	65

On, revisiting the solution Here a ,b,c,d are my column names. How  can i have slicer for column names.?

This would be my sample data @v-piga-msft.

@nirupreddy This might be one way of doing this is...

Unpivot your table as below (In power query editor)

That's it, now you can see the result as expected.

hi @PattemManohar

Thank you for the response.
is there a way to do it if my column a,b,c,d are calculated measures and not columns.

Hi cherry,

Thank you for the clarification.
I think framed my question wrongly.
The columns a,b,c,d are not columns , they are  calculated measures on the report.
