Single drop down slice for different bar chart visualization of each field
Hi everyone, I am new to power BI and I have been trying to figure out how to make single drop down slicer visualizing a bar chart for selected fields.
I would like to visualize each field below in a bar chart but using a single dropdown slicer only:
Example table:
| What fences do you have? | Type of home do you live in? | Any security systems? |
| No Response | Unit/Townhouse | No Response |
| No Response | House | Yes |
| Front fence, Side fence(s), Rear fence | Unit/Townhouse | Yes |
| Side fence(s), Rear fence | Farm | Yes |
| Side fence(s), Rear fence | House | No |
Example dropdown slicer:
Would appreciate any help. Thank you!

Hi kat_pbi ,
I agree with Greg_Deckler . Please try to UnPivot your columns.

kat_pbi So in general you are going to want everything to be unpivoted so that you wend up with a single column with your questions in it and another column with your answers. I don't see the full dataset so hard to tell you exact steps in Power Query. Alternatively you could have a disconnected table with your questions in it but that is going to make the calculations far more difficult.
So like:
ResponseID,QuestionID,QuestionText,Score
1,Question1,This is a question,10
1,Question2,This is another question,3
2,Question1,This is a question,10
2,Question2,This is another question,3
3,Question1,This is a question,10
3,Question2,This is another question,3
You do NOT want:
ResponseID,Question1Text,Question1Score,QuestionIDText,Question2Score,Question3Text,Question3Score...
Not sure how much more specific I can be given the information. @ me in replies.
Hi Greg_Deckler i wanted to visualize barcharts from different columns but using one drop down slicer only to interchange the barcharts. Is it still the same process?
