    Hi AndrewMorrison7 

     

    If your organization is using Microsoft Exchange Server to provide email, you can use Microsoft Exchange connector to import email data into Power Query Editor. Go to Get Data > Other > Microsoft Exchange.

     

     

    Once you connect to your email account and select Mail in Navigation window, it will load all emails under this account. You can filter rows to keep only survey emails and remove unneed columns. In Body column, you will see all data in Email body. You can expand this column and select TextBody.

     

    Then you can transform the TextBody column to extract questions and answers into the format you want. Once you have shaped the data into the format you want, you can create a report based on it easily.
