I have data coming in the following format:
| Responder | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Q5 |
| Joe | Disagree | Strongly Agree | Strongly Disagree | Agree | Strongly Disagree |
| Jim | Agree | Strongly Agree | Disagree | Neutral | Neutral |
I'm needing to convert the data into the following structure:
| Responder | Question | Answer |
| Joe | Q1 | Disagree |
| Joe | Q2 | Strongly Agree |
| Joe | Q3 | Strongly Disagree |
| Joe | Q4 | Agree |
| Joe | Q5 | Strongly Disagree |
| Jim | Q1 | Agree |
| Jim | Q2 | Strongly Agree |
| Jim | Q3 | Disagree |
| Jim | Q4 | Neutral |
| Jim | Q5 | Neutral |
I've tried Transpose and Pivot but those are not getting the data like I need it. Any suggestions on how to acheive this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
In Power Query (M) you should be able to select the responder column, and then select 'unpivot other columns' from the right-click context menu to transform the data to the required format.
