Date Slicer - Years Only

I'm looking to add a Date Filter Chart to my dashboard. I want to use the Slicer, and have one button per year, 2022, 2023, etc. I'm basing this on my record CreatedOn date, but in doing this, it shows me every date that a record was ever created.

I've seen the Date Selector Chart Type, but this seems to be a full calendar which is not what I'm looking for.

At the moment, I'm using the Range Selector, which works well, but I don't need that level of granularity.

Any solution for just a Slicer button per year?

Thanks

    Create a beast mode which returns YEAR(`CreatedOn`) to return the year and save it to the dataset. Alternatively you can calculate this within a dataflow.

    Then use this new field in your slicer filter to allow users to filter for a specific year.
