Excel Data, Pivot and Chart help
I am looking for some guidance.
I have some academic course assessment data. I need to report on the total percentage of times an assessment type appears at a specific academic level and for a specific subject group.
For example COURSE A at LEVEL 4 has 3 ASSESSMENTS, ASSMNT 1 = Coursework, ASSMNT 2 = Coursework, ASSMNT 3 = Exam.
When I have tried to produce a pivot to summarise the data I don't think I get the correct result as I can't seem to group the 3 assessment columns to count as one overall.

This task becomes much easier if you load the table in PowerQuery and 'unpivot' those last 3 assessment columns.
Unpivot columns (Power Query) - Microsoft Support
Then all you need to do is choose 'close and load to' and opt to create a pivot table at the prompt.
- MattGreenwoodCopper ContributorThat's perfect thank you. Is it possible to delete these posts? I have been asked because of the data-screenshots.
- Patrick2788Silver ContributorI've removed the screen captures and attachment so all that remains is a "general how-to", if that's OK with you.
