Ignoring Legend filter

Good day all,

 

I currently have a stacked bar chart with two products having the following annual sales:

 

ProductYear 1Year 2Year 3
A101010
B102030

 

I also have a slicer setup with values that allow me to filter out products with total sales over various thresholds (e.g >$5M, >$20M, etc).

 

When I select >$20M on the slicer, I see both products as single bars which makes sense as their totals are $30 and $60 respectively.  However, when I bring in Year as a legend, the only bars visible in the chart are for Product B, Years 2 and 3 only.  Is there a way to ignore the product size slicer when the Year legend is applied?

 

The measure I am using is: product sales = if( Calculate( [sales])>=Selectedvalue (productsize_slicervalue), Calculate ([sales]),Blank())

 

Thanks for your insights!

@amitchandakHi - in the underlyding dataset, year is already in a row via a calendar table (along with all other date-related attributes).
