copy column to other query

I'm very glad with the solutions to work with answers on multiply answer-question previous question 

 

But in the complete table there are several columns/questions like this. 

Name anwersanswer2q1q2
Annaneeadministratie 1;2;31,2,3,4,5
Berthaneeschuld 1;21,4,5
Corjaschuld  1;31,2,5
Dennisneeadministratie 2;32,3,5

 

Now I have to make for each multiply answer in a column different downloads. So I have table complete, table q1, table q2

 

But is it possible and how, to make a copy of the column Name en column q1 to a different table and also for column Name en column q2. Then I make there the steps for listing the answers and count it in a report. 

 

Please help me, I'll be greatfull!

Almost....

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Headers met verhoogd niveau", "Aangepast", each Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Bron{[Item="Blad1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],List.FirstN(Table.ColumnNames(Bron{[Item="Blad1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data]),3),"Q","Value"),{"Value",each Text.SplitAny(Text.Trim(_),";")}),"Value"))

little problem with first 2 row. Maybe something I can fix?

 And to test in the big tabel.  I need to understand where the formule the link is to the right column

My table has a lot of columns. How can I select the right columns? (hulpvraag + probleemstelling + reden niet in behandeling)

Hi @Nelleke-NL 

Can you show the expected result? I don't quite understand the requirements from your explanation

I'll try *English is difficult for me

= Table.AddColumn(#"Type gewijzigd1", "Q1 new", each Text.Split([q1],";"))

= Table.AddColumn(#"Aangepaste kolom toegevoegd", "Q1 new", each Text.Split([q1],";"))

= Table.AddColumn(#"Aangepaste kolom toegevoegd", "Q2 new", each Text.Split([q2],";"))

Removed Q1 and Q2

= Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Kolommen verwijderd", "Q1 new")

report:
