Word cloud choosing different fields

Hi. I have this table and I'm trying to create a way that the user can choose the specific fields to look at the results in the soundcloud.
Here's a sample of the data and what I'm trying to achieve.

I created a separate table for the drop down on the left, but I can't seem to progress any further. I basically want to be able to give the user the ability to choose a different cloud depending on the field that's chosen.

Can anyone assist in helping me find a solution ?

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,

According to your description, I think you should change the data structure. Go to Power Query, select the columns and click "Unpivot".

The table changed to :

Then create a matrix like below, put the Word column in a slicer, it will work fine.
