how to create slicer for fields in different tables?

I update a monthly snapshot file in power BI and archive the previous snapshot but I want to create a slicer so that users can select which month they want to view. The field name that I want to use for the slicer is different for each file "FY23 month name". Is there a way to create a slicer so that users can select "FY23 month name" from a single dropdown box despite being in different tables?

 

I have tried to connect the tables with a WBS code but the values are incorrect. Is their another solution?

@Anonymous , Create a common table using the month name/date from both the tables
