    Hi GrahamC1 

    You need to set up some buckets for the outputs either in the Query editor with a conditional column inserted into your data structure or in desktop using the UI functionality Use grouping and binning in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn this way you can map the replies to the Outputs of Favorable, neutral etc. 

    In regards to your wider custion about countifs you can use a number of DAX functions, but if you have not built a Star Schema data model, and you are using your flat excel file, then this is why you arr running into issues.  Understand star schema and the importance for Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn


    Hope this helps, I ahve built lots of surveys like this in Power BI so please feel free to ask for a more specfic answer. 



    The choice is yours to which way you want to do this.
