and i would like to convert it into:
Novice Intermediate Advanced Awareness

Type4
Thank you!
fiorela solution attached, look at table(2), lot of heavy lifting is done in power query
- added index column
- unpivoted the table
and then everything was very easy
Hi,
In the Query Editor, add an Index column. Click on the Index heading and select "Unpivot Other olumns". Build a matrix visual and drag Attribute to the row labels. Drag the 3rd column to the column labels. Write this measure
=COUNTROWS(Data)
Hope this helps.
