Counting values per column

Hi, here a question that I thought should be very simple. But after searching for a while on this forum and trying it myself I haven't found an answer yet. Maybe I'm overlooking a simple solution.

 

I have several extensive tables with data about students completing a multi-chapter course. The structure greatly simplified:

 

 

What I would like to achieve with Power BI:

  • computation per chapter: the percentage of students who have completed that particular chapter (in this example: 80% 60% 60% 40% 40%)
  • a visualization of these percentages as a bar chart (so 5 bars in this example)

 

Anyone any idea?

  • Start by unpivoting your data

    after than you can do a count of the completed and divide i with the total

      Never used unpivot in Power BI before, but I looked up some documentation about this option and see the point of transforming this table to a more usable form. I am going to work on this.
