Request Help Optimizing Donut Chart

Hello Power BI guru's,

 

Thanks for your continued sharing of expertise and helping out us little guys to become the proficient business intelligence experts we so desire to be!

 

PROBLEM: I have a bunch of labor data composed of different "activities" or tasks. I want to display a donut chart that reflects the percentage of that activity's labor to total labor for all activities. On this same report page, I have a labor hours over time bar chart, to see trends in total labor for each activity, SO, I have an activity slicer, so that you can select whichever activity and view the trends. 

 

WANT: I want the donut chart to change, in addition to the trend bar chart, whenever I change the activity slicer, so that the donut chart shows ONLY the selected activity vs all other labor hours. Here is a picture of what I want vs what I have.

 

 

The only way I was able to create the one on the left, was to select the "Data Entry" activity, right click and say "Create Group." Then, it's Data Entry vs all Other. However, I would have to create a seperate column for EVERY activity so each one would be in it's own group, but then the slicer wouldn't work because it's just for activitiy general. 

 

Can anyone help me out? I'm sure it's something simple. Please don't tell me to just not use a donut chart. lol.

Thanks again!
