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:
| Name | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 6 |
| Joe Schmoe | 1 - No Experience | 1 - No Experience | 3 - Some Experience | 4 - Very Experience | 2 - Little Expereince |
| Mary Contrary | 5 - Subject Matter Expert | 3 - Some Experience | 4 - Very Experience | 1 - No Experienc | 1 - No Experience |
| George Kastanza | 1 - No Experience | 4 - Very Experience | 3 - Some Experience | 5 - 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!

Thank you for your response Miguel. I am new to Power BI. How do I unpivot the data?

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