adding counts to slicer

Hi again guru's.

 

I have been asked to update a power BI dashboard to add a count to a slicer.

 

What I have at the moment is a standard slicer (See pic1 below ) - a slicer with a number of categories.

What I would like to have is the same but with counts on each slicer.  Is this even possisble?

I can create a card so when I click on one of the caterory boxs above, the card shows the count - but I would like to have that count in the category slicer.

 

Something like the below example

Hi both, sorry for the delayed response.

The above has done what I wanted but now I am after an additional piece of help.

 

I created a new table and used that as the slicer - it works in that it gives the sum / count of the attributes,

However, when I click on a different attribute to slice / filter my visuals, this total remains static (as I assume it is a calculation based on the raw data only).

 

Is there a way to make this calculation dynamic?

 

Code of current table counter I created...


Open_Items_counter_items =
SUMMARIZE (
    Table1,
    Table1[Category],
    "_CategoryCount"COUNT ( Table1[Category] ) + COUNTBLANK ( Table1[Category] ),
    "_Category_count"SUM ( Table1[Counts] ) - SUM ( Table1[<1Year] ),
    "_CategoryNameCount",
        CALCULATE (
            IF (
                ISBLANK ( VALUES ( Table1[Category] ) ),
                "Blank()",
                VALUES ( Table1[Category] )
            ) & " ("
                COUNT ( Table1[Category] ) + COUNTBLANK ( Table1[Category] ) & ")"
        ),
    "_CategoryNameCount2",
        CALCULATE (
            IF (
                ISBLANK ( VALUES ( Table1[Category] ) ),
                "Blank()",
                VALUES ( Table1[Category] )
            ) & " ("
                SUM ( Table1[Counts] ) - SUM ( Table1[<1Year] ) & ")"
        )
)
