Stacked Chart Including Multiple Columns from Smartsheet

Hi,

 

I have a Smartsheet with about 30 columns, all with drop-downs with the same selection values. I would like to create one stacked bar chart that includes counts for each selection in each column. For example:

 

NameColumn 2Column 3Column 4Column 5

Column 6

Joe Schmoe1 - No Experience1 - No Experience3 - Some Experience4 - Very Experience

2 - Little Expereince

Mary Contrary5 - Subject Matter Expert3 - Some Experience4 - Very Experience1 - No Experienc

1 - No Experience

George Kastanza1 - No Experience4 - Very Experience3 - Some Experience5 - Subject Matter Expert

1 - No Experience

 

So, I'd like to create a barchart with each bar representing each column (not [Name]), with the counts of each value in the column.

I can do this in Excel but I have no idea how to do this with Smartsheets and Power BI.

 

Thanks!

Hi  @plehrman ,

 

On the query Editor select the column name then do the following:

  • Transform
  • Unpivot Columns
  • Unpivot Other Columns

The final result will be a table with 3 columns:

Hi @plehrman ,

 

The best option is to unpivot the values in order to have it in a format that you can make the chart:
