    Hi annag815 

     

    Download PBIX file with solution

     

    In the Power Query Editor (click on Transform data in the PBI Ribbon) , select the Question and Answer columns then select Pivot Column from the Transform tab

     

    In the Pivot Column dialog box choose Answer as the Value column and in Advanced options set the aggregate type to Don't Aggregate

     

    Which gives this result

     

    Here's the code which is in the PBIX file I linked to above

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQrUg5IKjnnF5alFSrE6MAkjCIkpYQwhkSWMcBllhMsoI6xGxQIA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Inspection = _t, Question = _t, Answer = _t]),
        #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Source, List.Distinct(Source[Question]), "Question", "Answer")
    in
        #"Pivoted Column"

     

    Regards
