Multiple type counts in bar chart
I feel like this should be easy to achieve and maybe I'm trying too early in the AM. 🙂
I have about 10000 records of incident reports. Each incident report contains multiple incident types. I want to be able to create a bar chart like the one below (which was done in Tableau using Measure Names and Measure Values). Can't figure out the equivalent in Power BI. A simple count of how many times a type shows up on incident reports. The types are represented as 0 = False and 1 = True.

Hi pbrainard ,
Currently, measures can be dragged to value or tooltips field, but can’t be dragged to legend or X-axis field in a bar chart.
You can create a table, the content of the column is the name of the measure, and put this column into it to display.
Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Use Enter data to create a table.
2. Create measure.
Measure = SWITCH( TRUE(), MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureA",[MeasureA], MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureB",[MeasureB], MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureC",[MeasureC], MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureD",[MeasureD])3. Result:
