Slicer to show different tables

Hi all, I want to create a report with just one chart, which will show different tables depending on slicer selection. For example if you select 'shopping' in the slicer, you get a table with different products, their price, weight, description etc. But then if you select 'movie' in the slicer, you see a table which shows movie title, lead actor, genre etc. So this is slight different than dynamic column slicer, because I literally want a different table / set of data displayed depending on what slicer is selected. Is that possible in power bi?

Thanks for your question ...

 

Firstly, lear how to use "field parameters" to dynaically select columns and measures to appear on a vsiual.

Learn how here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-field-parameters

 

Next learn how to "group" those field parameters into shopping and movie groups.

Then use hierarchy slicers so the user can selcet the group names, which will select and dispaly he member fields.

 

Thanks for the clear description of the problem. I wish everyone did that!
