Hi All,
I have the visual below that has the count on the y axis and subject names on the X axis. I am trying to count how many x values have a value of Y.
Example 1 subject Name has a Y value of 8 , 5 subject names have a Y value of 6 , 1 subject name has a value of 5 etc.
Please assist
Solved! Go to Solution.
If I understand correctly, and you want to count categories repeating , then add a measure that counts categories (option 1 on attached pict) or
choose an aggregation on visual itself (option 2 on attached pict)
In other cases, please attach a sample file and a picture showing the desired result.
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos
