Power BI, Help

Question

Hi There,&nbsp;I am very new to Power BI, and am wondering how I can UNCOUNT text in Power BI.&nbsp; Please see my sample data below.&nbsp; When I try to enter it in as a bar graph, it starts to count the "preferred meat" rather than show each "preferred meat" type for each of the dog breed.&nbsp; Any suggestions as to how I can make Power BI NOT count the text, so that each of the "preferred meats" shows up individually?&nbsp;&nbsp;Dog Breed:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Preferred Meat:Collie&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ChickenLab&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ChickenPitt Bull&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;BeefDalmation&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Venison&nbsp;Chihuahua&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pork&nbsp;

Anonymous&nbsp;Not sure if a bar graph is the right visual here, it is more to show the comparison and works on numbers, you are just showing the values, and everything will count to 1, so should be using a table visual. Anyhow it is my opinion.
