Help with pivoting survey data
Hello all,
I have been playing with power BI for a couple months and I have tried over and over to get this to work. I want to make a visualization of medical comorbidities with all the column headers on the X-axis and the counts on the Y-axis. The data is stored so that each row is one survey response and each comorbidity is it's own column with yes/no checked for each one. I am assuming that some sort of pivot function needs to happen but when I pivot the columns I want flattened it destroys all the rest of my visualizations. For example I can pivot the comorbidity columns but then when I go back to look at the Race graph it has thousands of entires because of all the added rows from pivoting the few columns I want changed. Any ideas?
