In Power BI, how to categorize multiple parameter slider bars into different categories which can then be used as slicers?

In Power BI, I've created several parameter slicers for scenario planning. How do I categorize all of those parameters so that I can create a filter/slicer function? I've watched several videos on how to upload parameters, but they all seem to be data fields to filter by rather than dynamic fields as a result of user input (parameter slider bar). Is this something that can be done within PowerBI or do I need to create separate models in Excel to generate the proper data upload into PBI? Here is a simplified version of my PBI model.

  1. Summary page= table that shows Original Revenue vs. Adjusted Revenue
    1. For Adjusted Revenue, I would like to be able to create a slicer for the Adjustment Types (i.e.; 1, 2) as a result of adjustment #2 and #3
  2. Adjustment 1= increase revenue by x% (Parameter 1 + Parameter 2)
  3. Adjustment 2= increase revenue by x% (Parameter 3 + Parameter 4 + Parameter 5) Each "adjustment" is comprised of several parameters because each has a different calculation but should be dynamic enough to adjust on the fly (i.e.; the multiple parameter slider bars on each page). I've created separate measures to quantify each "Adjustment" revenue which has become problematic when going to create a slicer. Ideally, I want a drop-down slicer of each adjustment type.
