Grouping of Questions to Create Category

Is it possible to create a report from a list of questions wherein it will group the type of questions as categories?  For example, i have these questions:

 

- What is a guitar

- Guitar

- define guitar

- How to cook meat?

 

3 counts should be under GUITAR query or category and 1 count would be under Cooking.  I hope this is clear.  Let me know otherwise.  Thanks!

Hi @rkee10 

 

If my understanding is correct then here are the step, to achieve what you have you need to create two custom column

First column

NewColumn =
VAR Sentence = 'Table'[Sentence]
VAR WordList =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
UNION(
ROW("Word", "guitar"),
ROW("Word", "cook")
-- Add more words here as needed
),
"Word", [Word]
)
VAR FoundWords =
FILTER(
WordList,
CONTAINSSTRING(Sentence, [Word])
)
RETURN
CONCATENATEX(FoundWords, [Word], ", ")
 
Second column:
CountColumn =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('Table'),
    FILTER('Table', 'Table'[NewColumn] = EARLIER('Table'[NewColumn]))
)
 
Here is below output for the same

Yes, the output should give a category and its count.

Thanks for this one, @qqqqqwwwweeerrr !  By the way, how can I put this count to guitar:

- How can I play an instrument (or 6 string instrument)?


I would like to count this under guitar.  So for the answer you provided, the guitar should be 4 if we include this new sentence.  Basically, I want to count words in one category who have the same meaning (synonym).  Let me know if this is clear.  Appreciate your effort on this one.
