Creating a new summary table with multiple binary columns

[Anonymous]

I have some survey data I want to aggregate as in the image below.

Essentially, I want a column with a sum of all customers, grouped by the question and the date. I have a table where all these questions are separate columns and indicated as '0' for no and '1' for yes.

This will mean that I can greate graphs that use 'Question' as an axis, and count of customer as a value.

Normally, I would do this in the EDW layer, but I don't have permissions to do this at the moment, so I'm doing it at the PBI level.

I've seen a number of posts on Summarise table, but I'm finding it difficult to understand how to apply it to my situation where I have multiple binary columns.

Hi @Anonymous,

The suggestion of Ashish_Mathur is meaningful, but need a little change by my test.

1. As Ashish_Mathur suggested, please unpivot the column Q1 to Q5.

2. Create the measure with the formula below.

Yes responses =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Data' ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( Data, 'Data'[Date] ),
    FILTER ( 'Data', 'Data'[Value] = 1 )
)

No responses =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( 'Data' ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( Data, 'Data'[Date] ),
    FILTER ( 'Data', 'Data'[Value] = 0 )
)

Here is the output.

Best Regards,

Hi,

In the Query Editor, right click on the first 2 columns and select "Unpivot other columns".  Rename the Attribute columns as Question.  In a Table visual, drag the Question and Date columns.  Write these measures

Yes responses = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[Customer No]),Data[Question]="Yes")

No responses = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[Customer No]),Data[Question]="No")

Hope this helps.
