Slicer Help

I have the following table:

I want to create something like below for each green, yellow, and red values 

Color.PNG

Is is possible to create slicer like this in Power BI?

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUXIvSk3NA9KRqTk5+eVARlBqCpA0MNQHIiMDQzOlWJ1oJScklRg6jIBqjUFqzcFqneGGoOswNNQ3NEAodMG0FkIaWkAtt1CKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Project = _t, Metric1 = _t, Metric2 = _t, Metric3 = _t, StartDate = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"StartDate", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

let
    Source = Projects,
    #"Unpivoted Columns1" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Project", "StartDate"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns1",{{"Attribute", "Metric"}, {"Value", "State"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

As your filtering the metric table you may need to add bidirectional filters, though this should be avoid if not need as it slows the model.

Yes if you unpivot the data. You can then either have 2 slicers or a page level filter for each States.

 

This is the advanced editor query editor text for a sample.

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUXIvSk3NA9KRqTk5+eVARlBqilKsTrSSE5IkmiKQtDNUKboikJwLunlQU2MB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Project = _t, Metric1 = _t, Metric2 = _t, Metric3 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Project", type text}, {"Metric1", type text}, {"Metric2", type text}, {"Metric3", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Project"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{{"Attribute", "Metric"}, {"Value", "State"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

Thank you for your quick reply. However, I made all calculation using calculated column within my data model. Is it still possible to unpivot it within the data model? Perhaps like making a copy and unpivot?

Yes but you may need to have 2 queries one at project and one at project metric level then join these.
