Dynamic column name when refresh source data

[NurAmirah_MY]

Hi, 

I'm creating a template dashboard for survey responses. I will use this template to run the data and refresh automatically to show all the analysis/chart in Power BI. 

there are survey question which the column name will change. Eg:

Survey A has column names =

Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3

and another Survey B has column names =

Option 4 | Option 5 | Option 6

So, I have create a chart for this survey question in Power BI. When I want to run the dashboard for each survey, I want to only click refresh and power Bi will pick up the data and fit it into the chart. I'm stuck with this thing and cannot find solution elsewhere. Thanks

Hi @NurAmirah_MY 

You can unpivot the column first in power query, you can refer to the following link.

Unpivot columns - Power Query | Microsoft Learn

Then create a type column

e.g Option 1 | Option 2 | Option 3 belongs to'Survey A'

Option 4 | Option 5 | Option 6 belongs to'Survey B'

Then you can create a slicer and put the type to the slicer to control the display.

Best Regards!

Unpivot your data so that your variability translates into rows rather than columns.
