How can I use a data source with variable column names and position?
Our organization would like to visualize the results of a survey questionnaire. This would be easy but the catch is the column names (well, more like question labels) and position may vary over time ...
Hi Rena,
What we ended up doing was turning the data sheets into data tables in Excel and loading them as such in PBI. Afterwards, we unpivoted the data, merged it with a master question-ID-field name table to get merge the questions into common data points (where applicable) and finally pivoted it back.
It's not the most graceful solution but if anyone has a better solution than this, we're all ears.
Hi olimilo ,
Could you please provide some screenshot about original data sheets and your expected result(include master question-id and questions)? Thank you.
Best Regards
