Filter multiple columns that have the same possible values and display only columns with x

The title is a little messy, so I want to clarify.

 

I have a table, in this table are people and qualifications, a lot of qualifications that are separate columns. These qualifications all have the same possible values, but I just want to display all of the qualifications that say "Certified" and leave the rest. As I said though, there are a lot and I was wondering what the best method of doing this is, especially so it would just work if, for example, a new qualification was added.

 

Here's an example of what the table looks like:

    Hi PowerTrouble ,

     

    I found that the data structure of your table is similar to what I guessed. After you "Unpivot the table", filter out the rows with [Value] = "Certified". Isn't this what you want?

    PowerTrouble , Create a measure like

    calculate(countrows(Table), Filter(Table, Table[qualifications] ="Certified"))

     

     

    Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

      Ah, sorry I was unclear. Each qualification is separate, so for example, an IT column and a Fitness Instructor column, etc. This is what's causing the headache. I didn't make the table but I've been asked to display the quals this way.

        Hi PowerTrouble ,

         

        Is your table like this?

        Maybe you can 'Unpivot the columns'.
