    Hi  RooneyHat ,

    You could try the following steps:

    Step 1,create a slicer table:

    Step 2,use the following measure on base table:

    sum = 
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( 'Table'[Objective Choice 1] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Objective Choice 1] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Color] )
        )
    )
        + CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( 'Table'[Objective Choice 2] ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Table' ),
                'Table'[Objective Choice 2] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Color] )
            )
        )
        + CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( 'Table'[Objective Choice 3] ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Table' ),
                'Table'[Objective Choice 3] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Color] )
            )
        )
        + CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( 'Table'[Objective Choice 4] ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Table' ),
                'Table'[Objective Choice 4] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Color] )
            )
        )
        + CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( 'Table'[Objective Choice 5] ),
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Table' ),
                'Table'[Objective Choice 5] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Slicer[Color] )
            )
        )

    Then create visualization:
