column chart with 5 separate pieces of data

 

Hi, 

 

 I wish to create a column chart with 5 separate pieces of data from a dataset.

So, I have Fields named: - Bebidas azucaradas, bebidas no azucaradas, bebidas isotónicas, bebidas energéticas. These 5 fields are the answer to a multichoice question (what kind of non-water beveradges do you drink?). 

 

I wish the column chart to show these as 5 separate columns with a gapin-between. Each column should show the recount of "Yes" and "No" answers. Whenever I try, I amb either getting them stacked on top of one another (using the stacke version), or right next to each other (using the clustered), without the headings/tiles below.

Many thanks, 

 

Adrià

Hi, @adriaXIII 

 

one way of doing this is to unpivot your table, either in the query to the source or in Powerquery/Advanced editor(using the Unpivot Columns-function of the Transform ribbon).

 

Your table should then look like this

AttributeValue
question 1si
question 1no
question 1 no
and so on 

 

The columns can be renamed to e.g. Question and Answer.

Now create two measures:

 

positive answer = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(answers);filter(answers;answers[Answer]="Si")) 
Negative answer = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(answers);filter(answers;answers[Answer]="No")) 

 

and add the questions and the measures to a chart like this:
