Hi all, I'm trying to build a pivot on data from a survey. The survey is very simple in that respondents were just asked to rate 5 different items on a scale from "not important" to "very important."
I want to build a pivot that has a column for each survey item and a row for each of the 5 standard responses. Here is a dummy table that shows what I am trying to accomplish:
I can't do this though, because when I try to include more than one item in either the "rows" or "columns" boxes, Excel tries to combine the data (e.g. showing 7 people who selected "important" for "full-length, wall-sized writing space" also selected "less important" for "flexible seating"). The reason I want to do this as a pivot is so that I can include slicers where a user can select specific courses and numbers of sections. Do I need to transform my data in order to do this?
