I have excel datasource and it contains only one table. In the trasformations I deleted the first row i.e( It contains 4 systems, they are Product, Category, Channel and Item), the next row I used ad a header. I have create field parameter based on the excel sheet. Later I considered all the columns from the table and I am using that Field parameter in the table visual. 

My requirement is I need to create 4 buttons/slicer for those 4 systems (Product, Category, Channel and item), When I select each button of select in the slicer the related columns should filter in the Table visual where I am using Field Parameter

Here is the Sample Data. Please help me to solve this and Advance Thanks!

Hi @VenkatesuReddy ,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Create a Field parameter by new parameter in modeling pane where add all the columns from the Excel table after cleaning the headers into this Field Parameter.

Then create a supporting Table for systems which will let you filter based on "Product", "Category", etc.

In order to tell Power BI which fields belong to which system, create a mapping table for Field Parameter to System and join mapping table to Field parameter table. Now you can use a slicer to filter the table.
