Moving repeating data from a string into a single column

Hi All,

 

I am a newbie so this might be a very basic question:

 

I have a MS Forms survey which I want to use (via the excel export) in Power BI. The survey returns a single row of data, each field representing an answer to a question. However, the survey asks the first set of questions about a Client/Project and then the same questions x3 times in a row about x3 different subjects related to that Client/Project.

 

I want to be able to pull all of the answer about each subject into the same column and still have it related to the primary Client/Project data. I've tried using transpose but it doesn't do the job. 

 

Not sure if I've explained that all too well but if anyone has worked with Forms data in PowerBI before please let me know.

 

Thanks

 

JD
