Multiple type counts in bar chart

I feel like this should be easy to achieve and maybe I'm trying too early in the AM. 🙂

 

I have about 10000 records of incident reports. Each incident report contains multiple incident types. I want to be able to create a bar chart like the one below (which was done in Tableau using Measure Names and Measure Values). Can't figure out the equivalent in Power BI.  A simple count of how many times a type shows up on incident reports. The types are represented as 0 = False and 1 = True.

My types are measures:

Hi  @pbrainard ,

Currently, measures can be dragged to value or tooltips field, but can’t be dragged to legend or X-axis field in a bar chart.

You can create a table, the content of the column is the name of the measure, and put this column into it to display.

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Use Enter data to create a table.

2. Create measure.

Measure =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureA",[MeasureA],
    MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureB",[MeasureB],
    MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureC",[MeasureC],
    MAX('Table2'[Group_measure])="MeasureD",[MeasureD])

3. Result:
