Data from multiple columns in one visual

I have a survey question:

Which of these did you do:

A) I did A

B) I did B

C) I did C

 

which results in a table:

I did AI did BI did C
TRUETRUE 
 TRUETRUE
   
TRUETRUE 
 TRUETRUE

 

 

How could I turn this into a bar chart?

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

Put the three columns in value section of bar chart visual

 

 




Lima - Peru

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.
