Variable column segmenter

I have a table with a column A and a column B. I want to create a new column C in that table. Column C would be the result of either column A or B depending on whether you choose option A or B in a segmenter.

How can I create a segmenter that allows me to do that?

@Syndicate_Admin , You can not use slicer value in a calculated column,

 

You need think about dynamic segmentation or field parameters
