A way to summarise data and drill based on column

Hi,

 

I'm having difficulty with manipulating a dataset in PowerBi to get my views/drills and hoped someone could help. I have a set like below;

 

IndexType of userQuestion 1Q2Q3
1SalesApproveDisapproveNeither
2..Marketing...Disapprove NeitherNeither

 

The view I'm trying to get is a summary of all questions with an 'overall' % such as Q1 20% approve 70% disapprove, 10% neither. with a drill available on Q1 answer '70% disapprove'  split further by role e.g. is 50% sales 20% marketing 30% I can to do it through manual manipulation but I thought there might be a better way in Bi? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @MarkS2 

in your real case, how many UserType do you have and how many questions do you have?

 

It seems more common and analysable to arrange the data like this:

IndexUserTypeQuestionIDAnswer
1SalesQ1Approve
2SalesQ2Disapprove
3SalesQ3Neither
4Marketing  
 ...  

 

this is doable with Power Query

Hi @FreemanZ ,

 

In the real case the data is structured like so, so i think i need two summaries, Q1 summary answer + Q1 summary answer grouped by UserType. If it could then be drilled further interactively to see the individual responses to Q1 via a click throuigh on the summary that would be ideal.

 

IndexUserTypeQuestion 1Question 2Question 3
1SalesAgreeAgreeAgree
2MarketingDisagreeDisagreeDisagree
3EngineeringNeitherNeitherNeither
4SalesAgreeAgreeAgree
5MarketingNeitherNeitherNeither

Hi  @MarkS2 ,

 

I'm a little confused about your needs, Could you please explain them further? It would be good to provide a screenshot of the results you are expecting.

Hi Liu,

 

The below 100% stacked bar, with the ability to click on an answer grouping to to then see a sub grouping of 'people' who answered A1. Added data and call out for clarity

Lets say A1 is made up of 5 answers, i want to be able to click on the bar for A1 and then drill into a details page showing the people who answered A1 with a summary of all their answers.

 

Sorry if that's not any clearer! Thanks for any help
