Visualization of a multiple choices list in a bar chart

Hi everyone,

 

I have sharepoint list column like this,

ffirda99_0-1686276129799.png

The column type is multiple-choice. I want to visualization that value (crack, oversize, spatter, undersize, underfill) in bar chart. But when I drag the data to X axis, the value doesn't appear. So it like this:

How to solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

2. Promote heathers (if it didn't happen automatically on import)

3. Split your column by delimiter (",")

4. Transpose the result:

5.Unpivot columns
