Create a reference column on which to summarize

Hello again,

 

I have a 1000 row dataset from survey monkey. There are 6 columns of data (Col1,Col,...,Col6). The value in each row across all columns is a number, 1 - 6.

 

I'm new to Power BI so what I'm struggling with is how to create the row labels in my output table.

 

Thanks in advance,

Mark

 

  • Hi 67nmark

     

    You can easily do it in QUERY EDITOR with a series of unpivoting, GROUPING and Pivoting back

     

    See the atatched file here

     

    Step#1

     

    Select All Columns and unpivot them

     

     

    Step # 2

     

    Group by VALUE and ATTRIBUTE and aggreagate by COUNTROWS

     

     

    Step 3

     

    Pivot the attribute Column using Count column as Values

        Zubair_Muhammad you've just opened a door in my Power Query knowledge. Thanks for the great set of instructions and the sample file, much appreciated.
