Count specific valuen from different columns in each row

Hi, 

 

I'm working on a dashboard for an audit process. Daily I receive about 60 or 70 new entries from a form, each one is a new row. This audits have different types. I have 200 questions (colums) in total and this questions response may be "Yes", "No", "Not Applicable" and if the audit is from a different type, the response is blank.

 

What I need is to count the responses with "Yes" & "No" to make some calculations for each row.

 

I've been searching for a solutions but I've had no luck...

 

Thanks!

@Luiggo07 , One option, I can think of, is to unpivot the question and bring them into rows

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

I find out that the error was in my formula, not in the process. 

I get the result I wanted with the unpivot process and the CALCULATE / COUNTROWS formula. To avoid having an error with the different format ( text/number/dates/etc. values) i just duplicate the Value column and use some filters in the power query. Thanks for your help!

 

Thanks for your quick response, amitchandak. I tried with the option to unpivot the questions to birnd them into rows but I get the same number for all audits:

I used Power Automa to send the responses to an excel, and in the excel i can easily have the formula:
=COUNTIF(Table1[@[Question 1]:[Question 20]],"Yes")
=COUNTIF(Table1[@[Question 1]:[Question 20]],"No")
But the formula does not update when a new entry is registered by Power Automate and I can't do this manually everytime.
