Structuring dataset for better visualization

Good day,

 

I am struggling to structure my dataset so that the x-axis represents the campuses and the qualifications are grouped per year per campus. I have included an example of what the clustered column chart looks like and an example of the dataset. So basically, I want to swap them, but when I do that, it does not group the campus together for both years. I tried transposing the data and adding a column for the year and campus, but I got an error that items are duplicated. 

 

On the right-hand side, it lists the four campuses' information for 2023 and 2024, but I would like the chart to show the bars for each year for each program for each campus. 

 

I hope my question makes sense 🙂

Hi @ReneeKoelewyn ,

 

Based on your description, I created simple data:

I performed the following:

 

1.Select the first column and unpivot the other rows in Power Query Editor.

2.Change data type:

3.Create two new columns:

 

Year = 20&LEFT([Attribute],2)
Campus = RIGHT([Attribute], LEN([Attribute]) - 2)

Result:

If you still have any questions, can you provide a more detailed description or a .pbix file with the private data removed.

 

Best Regards,
