Hello -
I am very new to Power BI and I am trying to create a visualization of the status of various projects. My Data looks something like this:
| Project | Step 1 | Step 2 | Step 3 |
| A | Completed | In Progress | Not Started |
| B | In Progress | In Progress | In Progress |
| C | Completed | Completed | Completed |
| D | Completed | Not Started | Not Started |
| E | In Progress | In Progress | Not Started |
There are a total of 9 steps and about 300 total projects. My goal is to count the status for each step to then display as a chart. I want the data to look something like this:
| Step | Completed | In Progress | Not Started |
| Step 1 | 3 | 2 | 0 |
| Step 2 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
| Step 3 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
Whenever I try to create a calculated column I can only get the count for one of the steps. Can someone help get me on the correct path?
Much appreciated.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi jack_oplav,
To achieve your requirement, click column [Step1], [Step2] and [Step3], then click unpivot columns like below:
Then, click column [value] and click pivot columns based on column [Project], the result is like below:

Thank you so much! This is just what I was looking for.
I created the new table (Table 2) by duplicating the original table (Table 1) and doing the pivot steps you suggested. When I create the chart based on the Table 2, it does not filter in the report for Table 1 filters. I know the two tables need to be related, but I thought that duplicating Table 1 would automatically update the values for Table 2.
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
