Hi @yilingchen02 

 

While not using the tools you suggested here is a way of doing it, as long as your data is structured as Question then Answer:

Couple of other ways I can think to handle this, either concatenating then splitting the results or assigning a header based upon the position and then cross-tabbing:

Easiest way I know is to use Tile and Crosstab
