Slicer Visual with columns

My data has an Id and a Title, I'm looking for a (drop-down) slicer that, when I hit the drop-down, I'd like to see both columns displayed. The Id is somewhat meaningless, Title has dupes in it, so when I hit the drop-down I use the title to see which one I want to select (I may also want to add a date column to help me select the right row).

Hi @RuiPatricio ,

Please check if hierachy slicer can achieve your requirement.

If you want two columns in a single slicer, the best (and I believe the only) way to do that is to create a new column concatenating the two, so that in essence you will see: Id-Title as a single line of data. 
If you want to still have these as independent columns, you will have to do this with two slicer. One nice thing about this though is that your slicer can effectively filter another slicer. 

Depending on your use-case, either one of these would work.

I thought about doing that, I wondered if a tab might make it line up nicely, but, the source is an existing Semantic Model; I don't beleive I can add a new column to that table (can I?).
