I'd like to be able to add numerical columns to a matrix depending on the selection of column names by a user using a slicer. I was thinking of using a field parameter but that doesn't seem to work. For exemple, I have the data :
id | Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
A | 100 | 90 | 50 |
B | 80 | 95 | 60 |
Is it possible to have a slicer with a choice of numeric columns (Col1, Col2 or Col3) which can be used to display or not the value of these columns in a matrix with the ID in the row and the selected columns in the column ?
Thanks

Here are the steps you can follow:
1. In power query – select [Col1], [Col2], [Col3] – Transform – Unpivot Columns.
2. Placing fields into the matrix.
3. Result:

Thank you for this suggestion, which works well for the example. The problem I'm having, however, is that I have a lot of columns that are created in DAX and which therefore don't appear in Power Query. Is there a solution for doing this outside Power Query?
