Transpose Issue

Jo-B
8 - Asteroid

Dear all, 

 

I did today a lot of trail and error on the following issue.

 

I have a certain data set with many columns (Question Scores and Comments to each Questions). 

 

IDQ1Q1-CommentsQ2Q2 CommentsQ3...
110def9abc2 
29xyz10abc6 

 

I am looking for the following layout to filter on on the different questions and comments.

 

IDQuestionScoreComments
1110def

1

29abc
13.....

 

I know to transpose the column related to the scores of the questions, however how I can assign the right comment to the correct row?

 

I appreciate your help!

 

Cheers, 

Johanna

You need to do a little post processing after the transpose something like:

This uses Regex to get the question number then a crosstab to put back together

You could also try it with a multi-row formula followed by a filter (workflow attached).ScreenHunter_244 Nov. 07 16.12.jpg
