Smartsheet Form - Data is Horizontal. Help!
After I created my Smartsheet Form (a Yes/No Questionaire with 120 questions), I noticed my data appears horizontally across the page. Power BI does not know what to do with this information as it counts the number of questions, not the answers. If I use Excel to transpose the data to "up and down" on the page, Power BI works fine. Can Power BI change all my data to run vertically on the spreadsheet if the original Smartsheet has horizontal data?
ie. It looks like this now: Is red a color? Yes Is blue a color? Yes
I need the data to change to: Is red a color? Yes
Is blue a color? Yes
Medmanage101 In Power Query, select site and object column, right-click, unpivot other columns, and you will attribute and value which you rename further.

Medmanage101 The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
Can share some screenshots ?
Appreciate your Kudos.Medmanage101 as far as I understood, you need to unpivot your data in Power Query and that is what you are looking for.

Here is how Smartsheet Form returns my respones now. Questions are headers when using FORMs:
I need the data to look like this so POWER BI can count my YES, NO answers for each Object. Like this:
Excel does this, but I don't want to transpose data every time. I'm hoping POWER BI will do it.
