How to identify column with specific value?

Hello,

 

I'm facing to a new problem which consists to identify the list of "skills" on which users must progress.

 

The skills to identify have the notation "1".

 

Imagine that datasource:

With the users dimension, if I choose the USER 1, I would like to see an information like this :

 

USER 1 : SKILL 4

 

For USER 2 

 

USER 2 : SKILL 1, SKILL 2

 

For USER 3 

 

USER 3 : SKILL 3, SKILL 4

 

And for USER 4 

 

USER 4 : SKLL 2

 

If you have an idea/suggestion or example to help me it would be nice 😉 

Best Regards,
Jérôme.

@jerpic the best approach is to unpivot your data:

 

- transform data

- select user column > right click > unpivot other columns

 

it will get you two new column, attribute and value, rename these columns as you see fit, close and apply

 

in a matrix visual, put user on rows, attribute on column and value on values, and filter this matrix visual on where value = 1 and that will do it
