summarize data by cell values

Hi--

 

Trying to solve a summarization problem. I'm working with survey data for a client. Currently the data output is structed with questions as the column headers, and the cell values (converted from text to numerical) are the responses, something like this: 

 

Q1Q2Q3Q4Q5
11100
01111
11000
01011
10001
01110

 

However, my clients are very interested in stacked charts to review survey responses, so I need the results to be transformed into something like this:

 

 10
Q132
Q241
Q330
Q430
Q530

 

This does is not seem to be a transpose or unpivot problem (I've tried), but I suspect it's a sophisticated summarization problem. My DAX skills are decent but not amazing. I have created lots of tables using the SUMMARIZE function, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around this problem. Any help would be very appreciated. 

 

Thank you in advance!

  • Hi npatten,

     

    It is indeed a Power Query transformation with Unpivot. See:

     

    Unpivot all columnsShow in a matrix with Count

    Hope it helps.
