Filtering by column headings
It is actually possible to do this, but I don't really consider it a "clean" way.
- edit the query
- duplicate the table you want to filter based on columns
- select all the columns you want to be able to filter (using shift and or control)
- right-click and select unpivot data
- now you can filter based on the new "attributes" column
Notice how this is not a good suggestion for large data as you have to copy the entire table.
It works though...
To actually implement the filter I would recommend using the chiclet slicer from the custom visuals store

Hey thank you very much for the solution but actually my new table with the unpivoted attributes has no relations with the other tables so the slicer of the attributes doesn't work. How can i do?
I tried to add also the column ID and i linked it to the other table but still nothing.
