Column charts with Count values only (No sum/avg etc)

Hi Experts,

 

This may be a childish question as I am one week new to PBI. But I searched alot before posting message here.

 

Data Table : "Nominations". This is loaded in Power BI DataSet.

Columns in Nominations table are "EmployeeName", "LikeCount", "CommentCount".

Sample data....

EmployeeNameLikeCountCommentCount
Mr XYZ104
Mr ABC63
Mis PQR88

 

Solution: I created clustered column chart with EmployeeName as "X" axis and LikeCount & CommentCount as values. 

Problem: Rather the graph should show length of bars as per count values, PBI is aggregating count values to 1 in the bar.

 

Looking for any experts comment/solution on this - how to remove the summeraziation.

 

Note: I have tried Modeling option where Data category is "UnCategorized" and Default Summarization is "Don't Summarize"

Tough to say, my guess is that your LikeCount and CommentCount are Text for some reason and not numeric. See PBIX attached, you want Table2 and Page2
