Dynamically change the field in a table based on filter selection

Hi All,

I have these 2 tables in my PBI model

 

Table 1    Table 2
booktopic 1topic 2topic 3 topic
book 1aaa 1bbb 1  topic 1
book 2aaa 2 ccc 2 topic 2
book 3 bbb 3ccc 3 topic 3
book 4aaa 4bbb 4   
book 5aaa 5 ccc 5  

 

Is it posisible to use the column topic of Table 2 as a filter and depending on its selection, a correspoding columns (topic 1, topic 2 or topic 3) would be displayed in a table like this?

That is, if I selected topic 3 in the filter, the visual would look like this?

@nemo ,

 

First you need to unpivot Table 1,

After that you can create a matrix and you can slice it as you requested...
