How to create comparison dashboards between two categories?

Hello All,

Im looking for inspiration how to create a good comparison dashboard between two categories inside different dimensions?

Basically idea:

- On the top i want to have field parameter, where im choosing dimension (dimension means one of the column from table), which i will perform comaprison between two categories from chosen dimension.

- Below i want to have two slicers, where i will choose one category vs second category.

- The next step is creating some charts, when i will compare values for particular months, comparing variance, average etc.

Do you have any ideas how to setup this kind of settings?

I started to create, but its not working how i expect. In slicers for value i made separate two tables with values for particular dimensions and i created relationship between field parameter and them.

Please refer to this:
Here's a sample:

In the power query, Duplicate the Table then select the Platform and Group columns and click unpivot the columns:

vzhengdxumsft_1-1736997283486.png

The result:

vzhengdxumsft_3-1736997425878.png

 

Duplicate the table(2):

Apply and Close.

Create 2 Slicers with the Table(2)[Attribute] and Table(2)[Attribute]:

Then give them the same name to create Sync slicer on one page:

vzhengdxumsft_8-1736997757064.png

Hide one of them:

Create 2 Slicers with Table(2)[Value] and Table(3)[Value]:

vzhengdxumsft_10-1736997874264.png

vzhengdxumsft_12-1736997912097.png

Finally create a clustered column chart, the result is as follow:

Here is a sample of Data. We can do it simple as possible. Field parameter is containing two columns Platforms and groups, on y-axis of chart we can just count of number tickets and i want to have possibility to choose first based on which i want to compare, second what values from column im comparing.

Can you show the desired result?
