Help with simple clustered column chart (pics included)

[PowerBINoob12]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple bar chart that measures the % of my test scores for each month 

This is the format i want to be able to show in PowerBI (I created the below in excel )

This is how I have the data pullled into powerbi from a sharepoint site

This is as far as I have gotten :

not sure what to do next so any guidance would be appreciated.

I think it might be down to the way i have the data entered on the table but im not sure.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @PowerBINoob12 ,

Please try:

First, Unpivot the other columns:

Output:

Here is the M code:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8krMK00sqlTSUTI0MMBJxupEK7mlJhURqdQ3sSg5gwh1jgVFmTlEmUeMrV6lealYFViiqsohxjDH0vTS4hLCxgWnFpSk5ialFhFhpn9yST5xKv3yy4g11CU1GabUAo/KWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Month = _t, Maths = _t, English = _t, Spanish = _t, French = _t, Latin = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Month", type text}, {"Maths", Int64.Type}, {"English", Int64.Type}, {"Spanish", Int64.Type}, {"French", Int64.Type}, {"Latin", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Month"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"

Then apply it to the visual:

Final output:

@PowerBINoob12 you need to unpivot your data and then it should be easy:

Transform Data -> Select Month Column -> Right CLick -> Unpivot other column

It will add two new column Attribute and Value, rename these columns as you see fit. Close And Apply

In a visual, put attribute on x-axis, month on legend and count on values (y-Axis) and that will do it.

Thanks for the guidance so far but I think there may be an issue with what is populated in attribute now?

It also wont let me add more than one item to the Y-Axis:

Any ideas?

Thanks.
