Group column values, get a total/count of each one, then visualize in a pie chart

[ShootingBlanks]

Hello.  I'm new to Power BI, so this may be a basic question (although I have googled around and checked the forum before making this post)...

I have a column of data with four values - let's call them V1, V2, V3, and V4.  So, the column may look like:

V1

V4

V2

V1

V2

V3

V1

V1

I just want to get the percentage of the appearance of each of those put into a pie chart.  So, in the example above, there would be a pie chart with V1 taking up 50% (4/8 entries), V2 taking up 25% (2/8 entries), and V3/V4 taking up 12.5% each (1/8 entries each).

I've only used the WYSIWYG interface of Power BI and haven't messed with scripting yet, but I do have a programming background, so if that is what this solution involves, that should be fine.  Thanks!

Hi @ShootingBlanks,

If you want this in a PieChart just add the column with the V1, V2 and so on to the values of the pie chart and choose option count and also add that column to the legend and that will give the expect result and then.in the options you can choose if.you show values percents in the labels.
