    Another way is:

     

    Step 1

     

    Go to Edit Queries

     

    Select your columns with answers.

     

    Transform - Unpivot Columns

     

    Step 2

     

    In the bar chart put Attribute (You can change the name to Question or another) in axis and Values(You can change the name to answer or another) in Value section

    Ah, that is not how I thought to do that. Thanks! How would I get a legend in there? All I have in the legend now is "Count of Q1_A", "Count of Q1_B","Count of Q1_C"

      you need to create a measure for each column:

       

      A = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Survey),Survey[I did A]=True)

      B = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Survey),Survey[I did B]=True)

      C = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Survey),Survey[I did C]=True)

        Is there no other easier/alternative way to do things? I"ve got like 40 survey questions like this.
