How to display real time data correctly in a chart (total number per month)

I have setup a power BI file using real time data from Microsoft forms, which is sent to Power BI through Microsoft flow.  The flow is working fine but not sure how to display some data in Power BI correctly.  Very new to DAX programming so if someone can help that would be great.

 

The data I would like to display comes from the question:

 

Which of the following occured on the project?

  • Client provided positive feedback
  • Client raised minor issues
  • Client raised major issues
  • No positive or negative feedback received

From the results I would like to display a graph or chart highlighting the total number of each option selected per month.

 

The problem I have is splitting and displaying the totals per month.  I'm not sure if this is due to restrictions in dealing with real time data in Power BI, or my lack of knowledge in creating DAX measures.  Pretty sure there should be a way.  Any ideas welcome.

You didn't give a sample of what your data looks like.

Ideally it would be a table with headers something like this
Feedback ID  | Feedback Date | Feedback type | Response
where these would be the feedback types

  • Client provided positive feedback
  • Client raised minor issues
  • Client raised major issues
  • No positive or negative feedback received
    If you put your data in that shape you should be able to get the results you want just by dragging the fields onto a visual and setting it to count the number of each type of response.
    If you put a small sample of your data in excel and then copy and paste it here I can be of more help.
