Selecting a measures value with slicers in PowerPivot

I'm using PowerPivot in Excel 2010 to analyse some data. I have a situation where I have several boolean measures evaluating whether or not a condition is met. My Pivot table looks like this:

ROW LABEL    VALUE     CONDITION_MET
-----------------------------------
AAAA         10.5      TRUE
AAAB         9.5       FALSE
AAAC         11.29     TRUE

The measure to determine whether or not the criteria is met is non-trivial so I can't get users to select the right combination of groups in slicers to find the data. Ideally I want a solution that allows me to have a slicer that looks like below:

SLICER
-----
TRUE
FALSE

This filters my pivot table accordingly to just the records that match. Anyone got any ideas? I'm reading about disconnected slicers but not making much progress.

Disconnected slicers is one way to tackle this problem.

Lets say you create a 2 row table called 'TrueFalse' with a column called 'tf' and rows TRUE and FALSE.

You can then write a measure that counts the number of rows in that table that equal the value of the measure - if you then slice on the 'TrueFalse' table the option that you haven't selected will return BLANK() so will not be displayed.

The measure could look something like this:

=CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( truefalse ),
    FILTER ( truefalse, truefalse[TF] = [Measure] )
            )
