@Anonymous  What result are you looking for? If you want: 

Opening applications3
Killing processes2

 

Then you just need to add that same column to the visual TWICE. Add it in the Rows or Axis, and then also add it to the Values and set the summarization to COUNT.


Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.

Not clear what is your expected result. 

 

If you want to show all rows, set the Value as Dont'summarize:

Opening applications...1
Killing processes...1
Opening applications...1
Killing processes...1
Opening applications...1

 

OR you want aggreagated, set the value as (sum, count, average...etc.)

Opening applications...3
Killing processes...2
