    Hey Anonymous ,

     

    in order to show everything at once, all the countries should be in a country-column. If you put a single column for each country you will have a hard time to analyze things.

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍

    Hi selimovd thanks! I actually solved it, but putting all countries in a single column and then I did a split by rows in power BI database. 

    But now I have another question. How to do a map, showing the number of mentioned China, USA, Russia and etc? 

    Sorry, I am very new to the power BI 🙂

      Hey Anonymous ,

       

      I'm happy you could solve it.

      Then just use one of the map visuals:

       

      There you can use either Longitude and Latitude or put the country in the location field.

       

      Here a few more details about the visuals:

        Thanks, selimovd !  probably did not explain my question correctly. 

        I did a map without any problem. But now I want to highlight the number of mentions of each country, like that (I added numbers in paint):
