Clustered Bar chart

Hi all, 

 

I am trying to make a clustered bar chart in PowerBI, similar to one that I made in excel, but cant. I have sample data below. 

 

In the chart, I would like to provide the averages of each of these questions split by survey type. In excel, for example, it would be, make a pivot table, the questions in "values" area (summarize values by averages), the actual values in rows and the survey type in columns. 

 

I have tried multiple ways in PowerBI, the closest I have reached is to having the questions as a legend and survey type as rows. Does anyone know how I can interchange this so survey type becomes the legend and the questions become rows?

Hi @sd_09 

 

I don't know if I figured out your need but here is a solution:

With the data you provided:

  • I went to PowerQuery
  • I selected the Q1 score, Q2 score and Q3 score columns
  • Right click > "Unpivot only selected columns" 
  • I got "Attribute" and "Value" columns

Now within PowerBI

  • Stacked column chart

OR to be more precise "provide the averages of each of these questions split by survey type"

Does it answer your question?

 

Hey @Paulhaha 

 

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately, when I try to unpivot these columns, it gives me all the columns with error in the data set. Not sure why this is the case? Could it be because of blanks?

Hey @sd_09 

 

Its strange because it works with the data sample you provided

I tried by insterting null values in Q-Score columns and the pivot works

Actually if the Q-Score values are null, it seems that the values are not pivoted (and rejected)

 

If it's not that confidential, don't hesitate to send me a more realistic sample of your data (with all columns) so I can try it better in my side.

 

Have a nice day

Hey @Paulhaha 

 

Here's a more realistic sample of the data. There are additional columns in the data set, but they are shouldn't cause problem. The idea would be to have Graph 1 with Q1-3; Graph 2 with Q4-6 etc. split by survey type

Thank you!

@sd_09  Hello, I think the sample of data you provided doesn't include "survey type" column 😿 with "hired" and "rejected"

@Paulhaha ahh, its renamed to "survey" now --> survey_1, survey_2, survey_3 🙂 

@sd_09  thanks
