How to add columns to a table based on selection by a slicer

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 :

 

idCol1Col2Col3
A1009050
B809560

 

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

Hi  @Jeremy19 ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. In power query – select [Col1], [Col2], [Col3] – Transform – Unpivot Columns.

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?
