choice field in sharepoint list

I 've created a sharepoint list that it is connected to PowerBI.

 

However, one of the column that I created , it is a choice field and its possible to choice more than 1 option. 

The powerBI imported that data as [list] and I extracted throught "transform data" and select "extract values". But is concave the values. 

I would prefer creating a new column in the same row

Hi @jps_HHH ,

 

To create a column that can be used as an x-axis, you need to expand your list to new rows using the button at the top of the list column:

My multiple choice options are:  Tools; Units; Instruments .

 

And I would like to count the number of tools , units and instruments.

But the power BI put the lines as:

tools units

tools

tools instuments

intruments

intruments units

 

Thus, it uses "tool units" as a category for x axis
