    Hi Kolumam,

    Try the following steps

     

    1. Import your data set

    2. Create 2 more references of your data set

    3. Now you will have 3 copies of your data. 

    4. Filter the data sets as follows

     

    Filter your 1st data set such that you have data for those records where the number column will have values between 1 and 10,

    2nd data set will have  data for those records where the number column will have values between 1 and 15,

    3rd data set will have data  for those records where the number column will have values between 1 and 20,

     

    5. Now create a static column.

    In the 1st data set, this column should have 1-10 as the data

    In the 2nd data set, this column should have 1-15 as the data 

    In the 3rd data set, this column should have 1-20 as the data

     

    6. Now append (union) these 3 queries

    7. After appending, you will have a single dataset will 3 sets of similar data

    8. Now use distinct values of this new column in your slicer selection.

    9. Your visual should have data from this new data set

    10. Changing Selections in the slicer will not filter the data for the groups

     

    But this has couple of limitations.

    1. Atleast one group in the slicer should always be selected. If not selected, the all the 3 copies will be displayed, which is not right

    2. This will result in multiple copies of the same data. But this will not affect performance as we are using reference

     

    In case of queries, let me know. Will try to help

     

    Hope this solves your requirement!!!
