I have a list of items that have some properties, 12 properties to be more precise. As a user I would like to be able to select a property and view the subset of item that have that property.
Here is some sample data:
An ugly solution is to have a slicer for each property and a table that reacts to the slicer.
A much more user friendly picture would include a place to select "Items with propery1", "Items with property2" etc.
I can imagine a solution with bookmarks, but it would be a huge effort to build. There would have to be a button for each property, the bookmark would display a table with the specific slicer applied and hide all other tables.
Any better ideas?

@parry2k, thank you, unpivot is indeed the key. I can't do it in PowerQuery because the properties are in fact calculated columns, but using the DAX solution for unpivoting, I could make it work.
Representing the data slightly differently:
I can generate a new table by:
Slicer Table = FILTER( UNION( SELECTCOLUMNS(ItemTableNew;"Items";ItemTableNew[Items];"Properties";ItemTableNew[Property1]); SELECTCOLUMNS(ItemTableNew;"Items";ItemTableNew[Items];"Properties";ItemTableNew[Property2]); SELECTCOLUMNS(ItemTableNew;"Items";ItemTableNew[Items];"Properties";ItemTableNew[Property3]) ); [Properties]<>"")
which will be the unpivoted list like this:
Now I can use a slicer on this list:
which is what I was hoping to achieve. Thanks!
Hi @Anonymous ,
>>A much more user friendly picture would include a place to select "Items with propery1", "Items with property2" etc.
Could you please share more information about your visualize? It would be better if you can share the target image.
Best Regards,

I imagined the target visualisation like this:
@Anonymous you should unpivot your table in Power Query and that will do it
