Is there a visual for simple frequencies for multiple columns?

I often use the SAS platform to generate simple frequencies of data dimensions for multiple columns at a time and would like to achieve something similar in Power BI.

 

For instance, the following few lines of SAS code take a simple dataset, "applications", and produce a table showing row counts for each dimension of each column that I specify, as shown in the example below (where I want to show frequency counts for the fields APPLICATION_DECISION, STUDENT_CLASS, HIGHEST_DEGREE_EARNED):

 

 

proc tabulate data=applications;
class APPLICATION_DECISION STUDENT_CLASS HIGHEST_DEGREE_EARNED;
table APPLICATION_DECISION STUDENT_CLASS HIGHEST_DEGREE_EARNED, N;
run;

 

 

...which produces this output table:

Are there any visualizations that would achieve this in Power BI? When trying to use the Matrix visual with multiple columns, it tries to nest them all, which is not what I need. Thanks for any advice!

Hi, @empoweredbi ;

As I understand it, counting is enough to use in powerbi.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.
