Hi,
I have tried to look up for it in the internet but couldnt find any answers that would give me answers to my problem so I am posting here.
I am trying to create a stacked column chart visualisation but I dont know if I put the wrong information in the wrong field or if I need to "transform" my data further to accommodate the visualisation.
This is what I could create so far:
This is what I want, but I want to do this for multiple categories which would mean the same format of column like this but multiple times showing the different categories.
I would like the visualisation to be a stacked column charts with those different categories:
White belt : Beginner, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient, Expert (one stacked column)
Yellow belt: Beginner, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient, Expert (one stacked column)
Green belt: Beginner, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient, Expert (one stacked column)
Black belt: Beginner, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient, Expert (one stacked column)
And all these categories represented in one graph. This is where I am stuck when I try to put more than one category, the data is not visualised as I want.
I would greatly appreciate some help on this.

Hi @Anonymous ,
Please try:
First, Unpivot your columns:
Output:
Here is the M code:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("tVRLDsIgEL1Kw5pLqHFr3JMukI6GpAIhjfH4xphYfgMIdTfD/B7vMTBGjk8DdiF0Nc5WX6WQoN7OHm5SKbBkpMyPHPTdwPKxd9ODKwHT8E0PKt1krws+LAYWGhEkFB+K5aTVwI2ZpeCXGZCbBElhjxIRiXIcdSX5uNMJtp6p0sE/qE4BTRbh0eq56X3wnLhTJJQzo0h3u8K5OM2psMWiFe+1yRfzw0I5qegngBV0atNd0/TaMwqu/TpFbP5EnPNKDrItEYnGFw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Lean six sigma white belt" = _t, #"Lean six sigma yllow belt" = _t, #"Lean sik sigma green belt" = _t, #"Lean six sigma black belt" = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Lean six sigma white belt", type text}, {"Lean six sigma yllow belt", type text}, {"Lean sik sigma green belt", type text}, {"Lean six sigma black belt", type text}}),
#"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
#"Unpivoted Columns"
Then apply it to the chart:
Final output:

Thank you so much, it works !
Hello
You can add Belt field in X Axis
Y axis would be your Value Column
and you can add column with these values (Beginner, Advanced beginner, Competent, Proficient, Expert ) in Legend
@JadhavVarsha_13 thank you for your response.
Above is my data - do I have to create / change anything ?
This is what I do to get the one column shown in my first post
