Dynamically change column used for Ranking

I have a slicer which allows to me choose a field that is displayed in the matrix visuasl. I am trying to create a rank column so that the rank is created based on the field chosen in the slicer. For example in the image below, the red column has a metric (lets say count of items), so the rank would be calculaed based on count by City. But if the user chooses State from the slicer, then the rank should be calculated based on count by State. Essentially I am trying to find a way to pass a slicer selection into the RankX function. How can I do that? Or is there another way to achieve this result?

Is your slicer single select?  What if someone selects City and Traderep1  ?

Its not single select. Ideally I would want to allow the user to select single or mutliple columns. But I know multiple selections can make it very complex, so I will make the slicer single select
