Create report in Power BI based on Microsoft Forms survey data

Hi all,

 

I've created a survey in Microsoft Forms which I have connected to Power BI. I've previously analyzed the data in Excel, but to make it more dynamic I'd like to create a report in Power BI instead. 

 

The survey consist of: 

- 50 questions (likert scale).

- 7 Dimensions (e.g. each dimension contain a set of questions)

 

 

 disagree

Disagree

Agree

 agree

Score for positive items

1

2

3

4

Score for reversed items

4

3

2

1

 

Some of the questions in the survey are negatively formulated. Meaning, that they use a reversed version of the likert scale. 

 

 

Positively formulated items

Reversed formulated items

Dimension 1- management safety priority and ability (9 items):

A1, A2, A4, A6, A7

A3, A5, A8, A9

Dimension 2 – management safety empowerment (7 items):

A10, A11, A12, A14, A16

A13, A15

Dimension 3 – management safety justice (6 items):

A17, A19, A20, A22

A18, A21

Dimension 4 – workers’ safety commitment (6 items):

A23, A24, A27

A25, A26, A28

Dimension 5 - workers’ safety priority and risk non-acceptance (7 items):

A33

A29, A30, A31, A32, A34, A35

Dimension 6 – Peer safety communication learning, and trust in safety ability (8 items):

A36, A37, A38, A39, A40, A42, A43

A41

Dimension 7 – workers’ trust in efficacy of safety systems (7 items):

A44, A46, A48, A50

A45, A47, A49

 

The mean score for each respondent is calculated with the following formula: 

(A1+A2+(4-A3)+A4+(4-A5)+A6+A7+(4-A8)+(4-A9)) / Number of answered items

 

The question is if it's possible to replicate this in Power BI? It would make the management of it quite easier as I could set a dynamic refresh of the report.

Hi @Joakim_gg 

 

Please download the attachment to see the transformation steps in Power Query Editor. I add two tables ScoreProperty and QuestionProperty in it. In Positively formulated column, 1 represents positively formulated and -1 represents negatively formulated. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions.
