Survey with both value (1-5) and multiple choice text questions

Hello guys,

I have a problem with creating a rapport for survey data that is a mix of text and numbers.

Above you see the survey (You can click the image to go to the real survey). In question one to three the smileys represent a number from 1-5.
In question 4-5 the user can select multiple answers.
In the database the data looks like this in the "question response" table:

We also have a "question" table that looks like this:

We wish to create a chart that shows the amount of answers for each of the multiple choices in question 4-5.

Hi @KQngen ,

First add a coustom column as a copy of column msfp_reponse in Power Query Editor.

Then select the Coustom column, select Home -> Split Column -> By Delimiter.

Split text based on comma separator. The following results are obtained.

Then create visuals.
