Aggregate totals in histogram chart

[324]

I have a Tableau histogram I want to replicate in Power BI showing project number groupings. Projects receive a new project number each fiscal year, but there is an identifier column that groups these projects together. For example, a continuing project in 2019, 2020, and 2021 could have three distinct project numbers, but are grouped together by one indicator value.

I used this calculation in Tableau: 

{FIXED [Project Identifier]:COUNTD([Project Number])}

Does PowerBI support level-of-detail calculations like this? If so, how could I make a frequency bar chart like what I described above? Thank you.

Hi  @324 ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. In Power Query – check [project number] – [Split Column].

2. Select the new three columns – Unpivot Column.

Result:

3. Result:

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Hi @v-yangliu-msft, thanks for much. That is close to what I want, but not quite. Would it be difficult to make it look like this? Sorry if my description was not clear.
