Dynamic report based on slicer?

I was recently asked to develop a report where the specific slicers and visuals would be dependent on the selection of the first slicer.

 

For example, the first slicer could be "Automotive Manufacturer" with options of Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, and Toyota. The requirement is that each selection would result in specific set of filters and visuals.

 

Another way to think of it is to have four report tabs where each tab is specific to automotive manufacturer. Each tab would have specific slicers and visuals. Rather than having four tabs visible to the end user, the goal would be to have a single tab driven by the "Automotive Manufacturer" slicer. 

 

Is this possible?

@ERing Before even going further in the details, you cannot dynamically change visuals based on the slicer selection. One way to achieve this, create 4 different pages (as you have right now), and hide these pages.

Create another page with buttons for each manufacturer (Not slicer) and on click of a button go to the respective page.

@ERing While thinking a bit more about this, you can also use page navigation using a button and make the action dynamic based on the slicer value selection. This way you can have a slicer and a button to control everything.

@parry2k Exactley the answer I was looking for. I really needed to know if this was possible with a slicer. Thanks!
