Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Currently the slicer cannot filter the column names, you can use bookmarks to achieve it.

First create the following bookmark pages, hide the corresponding visuals in different bookmarks.

Then set the action of buttons to "Bookmark" and select the corresponding bookmark for each button.
