Help creating a bar graph that counts values found in strings

[dwedding3]

Hello!

Here's the issue I'm having:
So I have a column that contains multiple values in each cell, and I need to measure the total number of times a specific value appears in said column.

For example, a column contains the colors of a flag.

America: red|white|blue
UK: red|white|blue
Ukraine: blue|yellow
Mexico: red|white|green

how can I get a graph that finds the number of times a single color appears, such as:
Red: 3
white: 3
blue: 3
yellow: 1
green: 1

Thanks

In Power query, add a column like this:
= Text.Split([Flag_Colors], "|")

Expand the list column.

Add a column with the value 1.

Sum that column in your visual with the Color name as the legend value or as a column in the table or whatever the case may be.

IF this messes with other data in your report, then make a copy of the table first and then do this.
