Help with slicers

Dear All

 

I have a slicer , that has value "Yes" and "No" as drop down , My dashboard also has a table with fOUR detail columns . my question is I want the table to change as per the slicer value selected . so for example if I select No in the slicer in the table i should see column A, column B , column C , and column D. 

However if i select Yes in the slicer , I should see additioanl column E and F in the table along with A, B C and D columns. Having said this the default view of my table should include only four columnns, its only when i select yes , it should show additional columns in the table.

How can this be achieved?- thank you!

    Hi sks2701 ,

    If you want to use slicer to achieve this, I think you need to transfrom your datasets using 'unpivot columns' in power query editors; then create a measure like this, put it in the table visual and set its value as 1 or 2:

    Visual control =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer table'[slicer] ) = "Yes",
    1,
    IF (
         (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer table'[slicer] ) = "No"
                || NOT ( ISFILTERED ( 'Slicer table'[slicer] ) )
        )
            && (
                SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Attribute] ) = "A"
                    || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Attribute] ) = "B"
                    || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Attribute] ) = "C"
                    || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Attribute] ) = "D"
            ),
        2
    )
)

    Attached a sample file in the below, hopes to help you.

     

    If not want to transform data, bookmarks like @ StefanoGrimaldi mentioned is another good way to achieve this.
