Using Parameters in PowerBI in DAX for creating new measures - powerbi

Question

I am fairly new to PowerBI and have a situation at hand.
I have a column on which I have to create two parameters and compare the values against each other.
Example:
Animal: Food: Capacity:
Dog Milk 10
Dog Bone 26
Cat Milk 20
Cat Bone 8
Bird Grain 6
Bird Water 9
When I select Parameter1 as Dog and Parameter2 as Cat, I should get something like this:
Food: CalcMeasureDog CalcMeasureCat<br>
Milk 10 20
Bone 26 8
Is this something we can achieve in PowerBI?
Main challenge is to use the Parameters in the calculation to do the below:
CalcMeasureDog=IF(Animal=Parameter1,Capacity,0)
CalcMeasureCat=IF(Animal=Parameter2,Capacity,0)
Also, I don't really want to show the animal column on the report on which i have the parameters created.
Appreciate any help i can get.

Answer 1

First, create a measure for all animals:
Total Capacity = SUM(Table[Capacity])
where Table is the name of your table.
Then, create measures for specific animals:
Dog Capacity = CALCULATE( [Total Capacity], Table[Animal] = "Dog")
Cat Capacity = CALCULATE( [Total Capacity], Table[Animal] = "Cat")
If you drop these measures into a matrix with food on the rows, you should get your desired result.

Answer 2

The simplest way to do this is to just put them all in a matrix visual with Food on the rows, Animal on the columns, and SUM(Table[Capacity]) as the values and use a single slicer for both parameters:
I'm not sure how well this works for your particular report as I don't quite understand what you meant by
I don't really want to show the animal column on the report on which i have the parameters created.
