Howdy all!
First of all let me say I am brand new to Power BI. I have done some simple visualizations and new calculations but that is about it so far. Thank you in advance for your help.
I have a sharepoint list that looks like this...
In all these columns (choice) the choices are the same, ME, NI, or NA. The name of the columns is an inspection criteria. What I would like to do is total the number of times NI is selected in each column then create a visual that will show the top five columns that have the most NI selected.
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @glandrum72 ,
see my pbi file. First you have to unpivot all the columns in power query, then create a measure.

If you want the TOPN 5, you can use the advanced filter in the filter pane.
