How to calculate the number of non-blanks in each row?

Screenshot 2020-12-09 094334.png

 

Hi, I have a table with 27 colums with one called last name and 26 questions, like shown in picture. Since someone only answer some of questions and leave the blank for others. I want to calculate how many questions a person answer in a new column. How can I do that?

@Anonymous ,

 

You can unpivot the values using Power Query.

Select the name column and right click -> unpivot other columns, the result is:

NAME, ATTRIBUTE, VALUE

 

With this dataset you can easily count the blank values or nonblank values.

 

Unpivot columns (Power Query) - Excel (microsoft.com)
