Hi!
I´m have a database for a survey where i have one question per colmn. It is refreshed every two months and this part of the database looks like this:
Customers,Question1,Quesiton2,Question3,Question4,Question5
Customer1,3,3,3,3,3
Customer2,4,4,3,4,3
Customer3,5,3,4,2,4
The answers are numbers from 1 to 5 and i want to make a bar/column chart where each column of the char represents the average answer for each question.
In power bi, without editing the imported data, i have one field for each column:
Is there a way to add each question as a separate column in the bar chart?
The solution i found is unpivoting the question columns but it´s a problem because i need to use the individual questions for other visuals and analysis. In reality i have around 70 questions (70 columns) and i need to do this same process with other groups of questions, unpivoting is not an option because if i do it for every group, the power query model becomes too big.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You may try this workaround. First, you need a column containing your questions. Then you can create a Measure like this:
QuestionAvg =
SWITCH(
SELECTEDVALUE(QuestionList[Question]),
"Question1",AVERAGE('Table'[Question1]),
"Question2",AVERAGE('Table'[Question2]),
"Question3",AVERAGE('Table'[Question3]),
"Question4",AVERAGE('Table'[Question4]),
"Question5",AVERAGE('Table'[Question5])
)
The result looks like this:
Also, attached the pbix file as reference.
