Output based on different Columns

Hi,

 

In my table i have a few columns that have different solutions, which was derived from our survey. Is there a way i can capture those solutions into 1 column so i can get their mix?

 

EmployeeSolution 1Solution 2Solution 3Solution 4Chosen Solution
1 x  Solution 2
2  x Solution 3
3x   Solution 1
4   xSolution 4
3 ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS

Hi Greg,

 

i can't, the solutions are calcualted columns based on the employee's different entries in the survey.

@Lobs , see if this column calculation can work

switch(true(),
not(isblank([Solution 1])), "Solution 1",
not(isblank([Solution 2])), "Solution 2",
not(isblank([Solution 3])), "Solution 3",
"Solution 4")

@Lobs - I would unpivot your Solution columns in Power Query.
