Hello Community,

How do I put this into a slicer where it has only two selections (yes or no)?

Hi @mason23 ,

I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want.

1. Add a index column in Power Query Editor

2. Select all columns with month name and unpivot them in Power Query Editor

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WqkwtVtKBknn5cCaGAJwZqxONVRzKJFYLHiPAWmIB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Jan = _t, Feb = _t, Mar = _t, April = _t, May = _t, Jun = _t, Jul = _t, Aug = _t, Sept = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Jan", type text}, {"Feb", type text}, {"Mar", type text}, {"April", type text}, {"May", type text}, {"Jun", type text}, {"Jul", type text}, {"Aug", type text}, {"Sept", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Index",{"Index", "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "April", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept"}),
    #"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns" = Table.Unpivot(#"Reordered Columns", {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "April", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sept"}, "Months", "Status")
in
    #"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns"

3. Create a slicer using the field "Status"

4. Create a matrix visual(Rows: Index   Columns:Months  Values: Status )

If the above one is not your expected result, please provide some raw data(exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file in order to provide you a suitable solution. Thank you.

Best Regards
