Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You may try the following formula to create a table:

New table for slicer = 
var _t1=CROSSJOIN(SELECTCOLUMNS({"Quantity"},"Name",[Value]),  SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Value",[Quantity]))
var _t2=CROSSJOIN(SELECTCOLUMNS({"Value"},"Name",[Value]),SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Value",[Value]))
return UNION(_t1,_t2)

@Anonymous Yes, you can unpivot your table in the Power Query and that will make your columns into rows and, you can use it for slicer.

Value is actually a calculated column and Quantity is a natural column. so i could not see Value column in the Power Query
