Sorting by multiple columns

Hi, I'm rather new to Power BI and am looking for some help. 

I've got a SharePoint 2010 database used to track employee kudos, complaints, etc. Each row has three columns that can contain an employee id (name). I would like to find an employee's name in any of the three columns then add them to get a total count of kudos, complaints, etc for a given time period & entry type.

@Anonymous unpivot your table and then it will be easy, if you dont know how to do it, Please share data in excel using onedrive/google drive and I will get you the solution. Remove any sensitive information before sharing.
