Chart for multiple boolean columns
Hello everyone!
I have a simple form collecting a daily report of activities being accomplished.
Data example:
| Day | Submitter | Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 |
| 1/3/2020 | agent1 | true | true | false |
| 1/3/2020 | agent2 | true | false | false |
| 1/3/2020 | agent3 | false | true | false |
| 2/3/2020 | agent1 | false | true | true |
| 2/3/2020 | agent2 | false | false | false |
| 2/3/2020 | agent4 | true | true | false |
and so on...
I'd like to have a barchart with the count of "true" for each activity during a specified time period (single or multiple days). It would also be useful a timechart with Activity1, 2 ... and so on as series and the count of each one accomplished per day.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!
Daniele
Hi danielec ,
As Greg_Deckler said above, boolean can be a bit of a PITA in measures.
If you are able to convert your data to text the following measure should work fine for each activity:_activity1qty = CALCULATE( COUNT('table'[Activity 1]), 'table'[Activity 1] = "TRUE" )Once you have the three measures, stick them in a stacked column like this:
Stacked Column Chart - three measures all in 'Values', Day in 'Axis'

Thank you all! After I transformed the field to numeric everything was easy.
Yeah, I believe that COUNTA will count boolean values. Could also use COUNTROWS. Believe it or not, I often find annoying limitations with boolean things in Power BI so I tend to use 1's and 0's instead.
