Automatically changing parameter field dimension based on Slicer Selection

Hello!


I have a report that is structured like this:

Table (Matrix Visual):

Where I want the Parameter Field for my Dimension called DateAxis to change context to month when a specific year is selected:

I've tried many different ways, but haven't found a way to do this in one easy click in my Calendar - Year slicer. I am not the most experienced at DAX so I'm hoping someone knows a good way to enable me to set it up without having to interact with the DateAxis field, like this:

Thanks in advance,
Audun

I hacked together a functioning solution. It is not optimal but solves this concrete task.

I did it by creating a table called DateAxisSwitch:

Modifying my DateAxis:

And connecting the Year column of DateAxisSwitch table to my Calendar and DateAxisKey with DateAxisOrder of DateAxis.

Now it looks like this without a year selected:

And this with:
