Create slicer of column names

[Anonymous]

I have a table of data and I want a slicer to filter a table visual using only certain columns.  For example, I have the table on the left and I only want a slicer of the green items. I've created a table on the right of the column names (I typed these in manually) that I want in the slicer. But how do I get the table visual to sync to the slicer selection?

In case I did not fully understand what you wanted to do, I will explain in general in hopes that it will help.

Slicers filter only the values of specific columns, and columns cannot be selected.
If you want the user to be able to build his own table apart from the columns you allow, you can use
The field parameters.
