Visualization of a multiple choice questions

Hi all,

 

I am currently monitoring movement of population through a Kobo questionnaire. In this questionnaire, we ask the person the mean of transport they are using in a multiple choice question, with a maximum of 3 options (options are: bus, walking, plane, autostop, boat) .

 

I connected the kobo form to Power BI and unpivoted the column with the means of transport response in 3 columns: transport 1, transport 2, transport 3.

 

I want to know how I can visualize in a column graph the percentage of persons who have been taking each means of transport.

 

Thanks in advance for the support.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You could create additional columns for each mode of transport (bus, walking, plane, autostop, boat).

 

In each column you would enter a formula using an IF statement that says if any of the columns contains 'Bus' then put a 1 in the Bus column etc.

 

You could then plot a column chart that has the count of each column.

 

Hope this helps

 

Thanks,

George
