Creating Tornado Chart

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a tornado chart to show a number of different steps that are stored in the same column.  The Phases column contains the following 4 values - introduction, discussion, test and review

 

I want to display gender with 3 different bars in the tornado chart.  The steps are made up of multiple items from the phases columns like the following table.

 

Can anyone advise on how I can best create one column that will show step 1, step2 and step3 which are made up of items from the Phase column so that I can use this in the tornado chart?

 

Step 1Step2Step3

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi @Anonymous,

Based on my understanding, you want to combine the three steps into one column, right? If it is, you just create a new table by clicking "New Table" under Modeling on Home page, type the following formula.

Table =
FILTER (
    UNION (
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table1, "phases", Table1[Step1] ),
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table1, "phases", Table1[Step2] ),
        SELECTCOLUMNS ( Table1, "phases", Table1[Step3] )
    ),
    [phases] <> BLANK ()
)


Table1 is the name of your sample table, please review the expected result as follows.
