create a menu through drill down features

I have a clustered bar in my power bi visual. In this graph I have my x-axis column with the year 2022 and the year 2023 and the variation of the columns present in my y-axis. However, my y-axis has 14 columns, these being from different tables. When I add these columns to the chart's Y-axis, it automatically drills down, where users have to go through all the others until they reach the column they want. I wanted to find a solution where users could choose which category/column they want to analyze, without having to go through them all. So I wanted to know if there is any way to create a menu with a slicer, or another solution that allows you to create a menu on this graph that contains all the columns that I have in the y-axis?
