Challenge with dynamic x axis (carry forward options)

Hi all, 

 

I have a challenge, which should be quite easy to solve, but isn't really...

 

I have a dataset where I ask respondents the following:

 

Q1. Which fast food places have you visited within the last month?

- McDonald's

- Burger King

- KFC

- Etc...

 

Q2.Which of those you have visited within the last month have you visited this week?

- [Choices displayed based on selections from Q1]

 

 

Normally, I would make an index column and use that at my X-axis for Q2, but because each n value is different, this does not work.

 

Here an example...

 

WRONG CALCULATION if I use an index column...

 

 INDEX (number of respondents seen Q2)Q1Q2Calculation
McDonald's100862020/100=20%
KFC1005255/100=5%

 

 

RIGHT CALCULATION

 

 INDEX (number of respondents seen Q2)Q1Q2Calculation
McDonald's100862020/86=23.3%
KFC1005255/100=9.6%

 

I tried making a dynamic x-axis through "Fields", but nothing really shows up in the graph when I add that to my X-axis. I am not sure if I am doing anything wrong or if I have to make some DAX calculation for each variable?
