Pir to switch or toggle between Type and Sub-type

[DavidWaters100]

Hi,

I am trying to getr a pie chart to switch or toggle.  When a user selects one "Type" in a slicer, the pie should show "Sub-type".  When they select "ALL", the pie should show "Type".  The reason for this toggle is because there are too many sub-types when "ALL" is selected.  Below link to a dummy re-creation - my method to do this was a distinct count of type.  So when "All" is selected the count is >1, but it does not work!

Any ideas how to do this please, or where I went wrong in file below?

thanks

hi  @DavidWaters100 

"Type" and "Sub-type" are different dim fields, Slicer is just used to filter data, it could not switch between different dim field in a visual.

So as a workaround, you could unpivot "Type" and "Sub-type"column into one column, then use that column in a visual and use attribute column as a slicer to switch it.

Thanks for your comments and replies.  In the end I decided to duplicate my sheet and add a button to navigate to that duplicated sheet where "All" was pre-selected and the "Type" pie was showing.  I added another button to return to the other sheet where user can choose a Type but not "All" - in this sheet the pie for "Sub-Type" is showing.  Bit of a workaround but user just clicks on an "All" button or goes back to choose different Types, and the pie appears to switch like that.

@DavidWaters100you can achieve the desired result by using unpivot feature in power query window. In this way, you will have 3 columns one column which has numeric value, second column which will have main or sub-filter value, and 3rd column which will have all filter values. Below is the screenshot for your reference.
