How can I visualize the SELECT_MULTIPLE in power bi?

Hello,

I have a power bi report that has a slicer per district, so I need everything to be connected to one another.

I want to visualize the multiple select questions from my kobo data as a bar chart in the report.

When I put the answers under the values field, they format like the following:

I am trying to have something similar to this

horizontal-bar-graph_ver_1

Thank you very much

So you mean the label should be next to the bar?

Yes. Something like what is shown in kobo reports.

I solved this by creating a separate pivot table for all the multi_select questions

@buhayha, :clap: :heart:

This is one way to use a pivot table, but the problem is that it results in a loss of connectivity when filtering the entire dashboard data in Power BI. Iā€™m looking for a solution that allows us to maintain connectivity while using a bar chart @Kal_Lam @buhayha

Hi @wstanikzai,

you can simply duplicated the table and delete the columns that did not need to be in the graph, after that you can unpivot the columns. I am using it frequently for the select multiple questions. If you keep a primary code in the second table (e.x beneficiary ID), then you can connect the tables by relationship so you can keep the connectivity easily.
