Graphing a Column with Multiple Values in One Field

[tiztrain]

Hi,

So I have a field that has multiple values captured in the column seperated by a comma.

3rdpartworks,encroachment,midas,sms,stakeholder,tenure

encroachment

3rdpartworks,encroachment

3rdpartworks,encroachment,midas,tenure

3rdpartworks,encroachment,midas,sms,stakeholder,tenure

3rdpartworks

3rdpartworks

3rdpartworks

....

I am wanting to be able to report it in a chart like below which counts the amount of times the value in the column.

I have thought about what is the best way to approach this task. I was thinking that I could use power query just to split out all the values using the comma as the deliminator. Then I could count all the columns up and that would be the result. The only issue there is the ordering of the split out values. In one row, "3rd Party" could be the first value and in the next "Encroachment" could be the first value.

Instead, I thought about using the "Card" widget and display the count of each value in a seperate widget but I don't like that option as much.

unpivot the table after you splited column. then create measure countrows(table). put the dimension column and measure into chart
