Here is what  the input is

@markcurry  your solution helped, but lead to more questions. What if I have multiple rows of questions / answers? See attached for updated and below for how I would like the Results.   2...Etc and 3... are the other questions, etc.

Hi @LAS1 , see the attached workflow.  Because your records are repeating every 43 records, I've added a response number field (1-5) and a Question ID (1-43), but you don't need the Question ID.....

This is exactly what im looking for! Been stumped for a few days.
