Transpose Data Table

I have data coming in the following format:

Responder  Q1Q2Q3Q4Q5
JoeDisagreeStrongly AgreeStrongly DisagreeAgreeStrongly Disagree
JimAgreeStrongly AgreeDisagreeNeutralNeutral

 

I'm needing to convert the data into the following structure:

Responder  QuestionAnswer
JoeQ1Disagree
JoeQ2Strongly Agree
JoeQ3Strongly Disagree
JoeQ4Agree
JoeQ5Strongly Disagree
JimQ1Agree
JimQ2Strongly Agree
JimQ3Disagree
JimQ4Neutral
JimQ5Neutral

 

I've tried Transpose and Pivot but those are not getting the data like I need it. Any suggestions on how to acheive this.

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.
