Slicer based on column names

Hi!

 

I have 6 caculkated columns in my Power BI report, called  Actuals, Cummulative Actual, Planned , Cummulative Planned, Forecast and cummulative Forecast. I have build a bar & line  chart based on these columns. Now I want to build a slicer /filter on this report so I can filter and see them individually and see the charts. Basically I want a slicer with three selection option "Actual", "Planned" and "Forecast" categories. Would reallyb appreciate if someone has done this and can help out.

 

Kind regards

Thanks for your reply but it does not seem to work with the suggestion in the link. The issue is my columns are calculated columns and I am just looking to get the column Names on the slicers so when I select individually , it doisplays the chart against that.
