I need to create visualisation using string data but I realise that bar graphs cannot be prepared because of the data type.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

When you put your text field into the x-axis in the bar chart, it will automatically select the aggregation of counting type.

You could import your data into Power BI Desktop and try it.
