If measures could be used in every axis, and to create dynamic value lists in slicers, it would answer hundreds of existing idea requests with a single project.

It would allow developers to make a dynamic axis based on current filter context. So a column chart could be made into a histogram without having to change the data model. Slicer values would be auto filtered based on current filter context so slicers could filter each other in a more user friendly way.

This could be done in a few ways. One would be to create a special measure category only for slicers and dynamic axes. Another way would be to create a new function or new functions to wrap the output of a measure that would adapt the measure output to be able to function in a slicer or axis.
