Single drop down slice for different bar chart visualization of each field

[kat_pbi]

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?

@kat_pbi , Under Visual formatting, you have option for single select
