Multiple choice visualization

Hello,

 

I have a questionnaire with some multiple choice questions (i.e., subjects can choose more than one option). I want to create a chart (probably line chart, as there are several dates in which this survey was taken) or a table showing the percentage of subjects who chose each of the avilable options (so the percentages may add up to be above 100%).

 

Example:

UserBrand1Brand2Brand3Brand4Brand5Brand6Brand7Brand8
110010111
210000010
300100000
401110110
501000000
610010000
710001000
810111011
900101011

 

Do anyone have an idea how this can be done?

 

Thanks!

Hi @idlinzen ,

 

I have created a sample for your reference, please check the following steps as below.

1. Unpivot the table as below in power query.

M code for your reference.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSAWMDKDZEoiE4VidayQhNlQGGDpAqYyzmoGKQKhMMG1D5EFWmeM2BqTLD4XpUVeZYZAwxVFlg9T0yH6TKEkdYIamKBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [User = _t, Brand1 = _t, Brand2 = _t, Brand3 = _t, Brand4 = _t, Brand5 = _t, Brand6 = _t, Brand7 = _t, Brand8 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"User", Int64.Type}, {"Brand1", Int64.Type}, {"Brand2", Int64.Type}, {"Brand3", Int64.Type}, {"Brand4", Int64.Type}, {"Brand5", Int64.Type}, {"Brand6", Int64.Type}, {"Brand7", Int64.Type}, {"Brand8", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"User"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"

 

2. Then we can get excepted result we need.
