Hi,
I have the following table that I have appended - current values and past values which range from 1-12 years into the past, the data is also dived between tenors (3M, 6M etc) which will be the y-axis. Current values have 'Attribute = null, while past values 'Attribute' = 1-11. I would like to keep it as one table for a stacked bar chart visual as I want to use the 'small multiples' function to compare Current vs Past. My issue is that I want to put a slicer on the the 'Past' values so I can compare the current prices to 1year ago, 5 year ago etc.
I am struggling to figure out how I can use the slicer on 'Attribute' (relates to years) for Past values while making sure the current values don't get filtered out (e.g. I want to compare versures 5 years ago) . Can the data be sliced dynamically before I append the queries of current and past together or is there another way to tacke this?

Hi @Anonymous
You can refer to the following solutions.
Sample data
1.In Power BI Desktop, create a slicer table. the table has no relationship with data table
Slicer = SUMMARIZE(FILTER('Table',[Current/Past]="Past"),[Attribute])
2.Create the following measure
MEASURE =
SWITCH (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Current/Past] ),
"Current", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ) ),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Attribute] IN VALUES ( 'Slicer'[Attribute] ) )
)
)
3.Then create a slicer and put the field of the slicer table to the slicer, and create a stacked bar chart table and put the measure and related field to the visual.
Output
