How do I Count words in multiple columns

[FacundoAybar]

Hi, 

I want to know how to count how many times appear a word in each column: 

Example:  there are 4 columns with replacements of a device, I want to count hoy many times appear each word on the 4 columns,

and use it for a bar graphic that differentiate if 10 of 100 are "SOM", or 20 of 100 are "SD"

PD: Sorry for my english, thanks!

Hi,

In the Query Editor, select all columns other than the 4 columns, right click and select "Unpivot Other Columns".  Drag the Values column to a Table/matrix visual and write this measure

Measure = countorws(Data)

Hope this helps.

Could make a calculated column that does a check for each of the 4 columns for the word in particular if it contains it or not then marks it as a 1 so you can get a row total.

e.g. for the "SD" value

SD_Count =

var _Repuesto_1 = SUM(IF([Repuesto1]="SD",1,0))

var _Repuesto_2 = SUM(IF([Repuesto2]="SD",1,0))

var _Repuesto_3 = SUM(IF([Repuesto3]="SD",1,0))

var _Repuesto_4 = SUM(IF([Repuesto4]="SD",1,0))
RETURN

(_Repuesto_1)+(_Repuesto_2)+(_Repuesto_3)+(_Repuesto_4)

That'd give you a calculated column count for SD, you could then repeat this for the other values you wanted to check. Then you could add each one to a visual
