Hi @Anonymous,
I'm attaching a excel file with my solution.
My M code is this:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Name", type text}, {"Question", type text}, {"Answer", type text}}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Question]), "Question", "Answer")
in
#"Pivoted Column"
