Count values in different columns

Hi Experts, 

 

I'm progressing in power BI, but so far did not use any single formula as it just doesn't work for me. If anyone can give me heads up: 

 

I have one simple data wich looks like that: 

 

Column 1  Column 2 

Positive      Negative 

Positive     Neutral 

Positive     No Feedback 

Positive 

Negative 

 

So on, 7 columns. I'm looking into way to create Pie chart to see % of positive, % of negative, % of neutral and so on... 

 

Any ideas? 

thanks

Hi @AleksandrMe ,

 

I suggest you to use "UnPivot" to transform your data. After that everything will be simple. Please refer to this similar post: Count value in different columns.

Thanks for your answer - this helps. I appologize for late reply. 

I have now issue with unpivoting - but I think it's best to create another post for this reason?! 

 

Kind Regards

Seems like you need a multi-column aggregation: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Multi-Column-Aggregations-MC-Aggregations/m-...

 

Either that or unpivot your 7 columns in PQ
