Value Count after Unpivot Columns is not unique

I have some employee data in Excel table containing experience and software skills. I applied Unpivot Columns of both Experience and Software Skills separately and plotted them. The percentage/proportion is coming out correct but the count is exaggerated. Please suggest.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Step1: unpivot the year columns.

Step2: filter experience column which value is blank.

Step3: unpivot the software columns.

Thanks. Any suggestions for the case when I have multiple such unpivoted headers and their values?

Any other way to represent the excel data would also be fine.

@Anonymous You can use:

Count Measure = COUNTROWS(DISTINCT('Table'[Employee]))
