Counting choices in multiple columns then displaying top five columns the most of a choice

[glandrum72]

Howdy all!

First of all let me say I am brand new to Power BI. I have done some simple visualizations and new calculations but that is about it so far.  Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a sharepoint list that looks like this...

In all these columns (choice) the choices are the same, ME, NI, or NA. The name of the columns is an inspection criteria.  What I would like to do is total the number of times NI is selected in each column then create a visual that will show the top five columns that have the most NI selected.

Thank you!

Hi @glandrum72 ,

see my pbi file. First you have to unpivot all the columns in power query, then create a measure.

If you want the TOPN 5, you can use the advanced filter in the filter pane.

Please forgive the ignorance. But are you talking about exporting to an excel spread sheet?
