(Looking For Help) Merging Qualifiable Data for Counts in Report View

[Marcus-G]

I am writing this as I am fairily new to Power BI and was tasked with creating some reporting with my companies data and I was wondering if I could have someone give me some quick pointers on this issue I have.

The info that I am tasked to create a report with is all in Qualifiable data with no values and for the straight forward items its as easy as dropping in the column and selecting it as a count value.

The issue arises for an example I have attached below.

So for some of the data some companies can order a product but can order different ones on top of a single order but since its linked to an individual order and date each item is listed in the 1/2/3 item column.

My issue is trying to combine these items so that I can have a count of total "Choco" for example to use in a report that can link either per company or individual based on all 3 columns as a single value. My only solution at the moment is to enter each column as a value but for example on a stack bar chart will come up as 3 seperate values for "Choco" on top of each other when only 1 is needed for ease of use and formating.

If any better explaination is needed please let me know and thank you anyone for taking the time out of their day to help!

Hi, @Marcus-G ;

You could create a measure by dax.

totalcount = 
CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Cookie 1]),'Table'[Cookie 1]="Choco")+
CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Cookie 2]),'Table'[Cookie 2]="Choco")+
CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Cookie 3]),'Table'[Cookie 3]="Choco")

The final show:

You have 2 options to keep things simple:

write a measure to count the values in each 'cookie' column i.e. you combine the resuts for each column

or

UnPivot the 'Cookie' columns in Power Query and you'll have one column to write a measure or drag on to a visual to use default aggregations
