    Hi, Nelleke-NL 

    Thanks for your quick response!

    According to your screenshot, you split the column to many columns. For your need , i think teh besy way is not like this.

    This is my test data:

    (1)We do not split to more columns just one , we can click "Custom Column" and enter:

    (2)Then we can remove the [Type] column:

    (3)Then we can "expand to new rows":

    (4)Then we can apply the data  to the Power Bi Desktop, then we can put the field on the visual and we can meet your need:

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

     

    Best Regards,
