live connection SSAS cube - stacked column chart hide column programmatically

Hi all,

I need to give to my end user the option to hide/unhide specific columns from a stacked column chart.

Right now, I create different bookmarks to obtain some similar results, but it frustraiting and time consuming.

 

I use a live connection to SSAS cube and I can't use Parameter fields: how could I try to do the same behavior?

 

BR,

M
