Custom Period Slicer to default to specific date fields

I have a custom period filter for "Last 5 Quarters", "Last 5 Months", and "Last 5 Weeks". And a Parameter that dynamically filters the x axis based on 3 date fields, [Fiscal Year Quarter], [Fiscal Year Month], [Fiscal Year Week]


I am looking to have the functionality where,
 - If a user selects "Last 5 Quarters", then the Parameter is default to "Fiscal Year Quarter"
- If a user selects "Last 5 Months" , then Parameter is default to "Fiscal Year Month"... etc. 

Therefore I can remove the "Parameter" slicer from the report. Is there a way for this?

Parameter = {
    ("Fiscal Year Quarter", NAMEOF('Date'[Fiscal Year Quarter]), 0),
    ("Fiscal Year Month", NAMEOF('Date'[Fiscal Year Month]), 1),
    ("Fiscal Year Week", NAMEOF('Date'[Fiscal Year Week]), 2)
}
Period Filter = 

VAR _selectedperiod = SELECTEDVALUE('Last 5 Custom Period'[Period-Order])
    
VAR _last5qtr = 
    IF(
        CALCULATE(
            MAX('Date'[Date]),
            'Date'[Fiscal Year Quarter (Offset)] >= -4 && 'Date'[Fiscal Year Quarter (Offset)] <= 0
        ), 
        1, 
        0
    )

VAR _last5months = 
    IF(
        CALCULATE(
            MAX('Date'[Date]),
            'Date'[Fiscal Year Month (Offset)] >= -4 && 'Date'[Fiscal Year Month (Offset)] <= 0
        ), 
        1, 
        0
    )

VAR _last5wks = 
    IF(
        CALCULATE(
            MAX('Date'[Date]),
            'Date'[Fiscal Year Week (Offset)] >= -4 && 'Date'[Fiscal Year Week (Offset)] <= 0
        ), 
        1, 
        0
    )

RETURN
   INT(SWITCH(            
    _selectedperiod, 1, _last5qtr,
                     2, _last5months, 
                     3, _last5wks
   ))

@dogt1225 , you can change the measure based on selected axis value. 

Just remember for trends using a date/period, date/period should come from an independent table
