John01 , One way is to split the column into rows. But not sure you want to opt for that way. Also, that will work for import mode

Hi amitchandak - i just figured it out, yeah, I had already split them into separate columns, just couldn't figure out how to add up the columns - in the end, I created separate measures to count categories in each split column first, then I created another measure to add the column measures together. Might not be the tidiest method of doing things but got there in the end.
