Variance between columns based on slicer category

[TOK]

I have a PBI report for analyzing marketing events with dynamic week filters. The purpose of the report is to show the variance between the event and comparable weeks before/after the event in one table. 

There are exactly 3 dynamic week slicers, which do not interact with each other. 

The first slicer filters comparable weeks before the event, the second slicer filters actual event weeks and the third one filters comparable weeks after the event.

It seems that PBI doesn't support dynamic columns in any case.

Is there any way to calculate a column value by different dynamic filters in the report?

Or do you even see any other workaround for this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @TOK,

Based on my research, I am afraid you could not achieve dynamic slicers due to the slicer could only use a column intsead of a measure and only the measure could get a dynamic result, I suggest you submit an idea in ideas forum:

Using inactive relationships between data tables helped me working around this problem.
