Need help to shown buttons which act as radio button(only one button should be able to select)

I am trying to create two buttons and based on the selection of the button, i want to show the data on the visualization, i want to create something as shown in the below image. When the Accounting button is selected it is highlighted so that user know that the data displayed is for Accounting, similarly if Effective is being selected or clicked it should highlight and Accounting should be disabled or greyed out...Being a  newbie i'm confused which option is best to show similar kind as shown in below image

When i was referring to the available options in Power BI desktop, one option i found was chicklet Slicer. Is it a good option for the above scenario or is there any best way to display the above functionality?I want to create two buttons out of which only one button should be able to select(like radiobuttons) and based on the selection the data is filtered and shown on the visualizations shown in the page. Any inputs are helpful.

PS: I don't have buttons option on my Home Ribbon. I am using PowerBI desktop(Mar 2018) version.

@dexter:

 

Chiclet slicer is the best option, you can set single slection and forced selection and it will bi like radio buttons.

To use buttons you should update Power BI Desktop to the latest version. I don't remember exactly when buttons where added, but it was later than March.
