Creating a Field from Values in a Cell

I am working with a customer who is having me move their dashboards from Microsoft's Power BI platform to Qlik Sense. The data being moved are survey responses from customer service surveys. We noticed that, for whatever reason, some of the field names in Power BI show up as cell values in Qlik Sense.

Here is how the table looks in Power BI:

And here is how it looks in Qlik Sense:

Notice the column header in the Power BI picture "Feedback is important to help etc. etc." shows up in the cell.

The customer would prefer that the table look like the Power BI picture. I am stumped as to how this can happen, since we are pulling the dataset from the same data source. Is it possible to make a field using the value of a cell? Any insight or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!

the problem is with the dataset itself not Qlik,

the dataset is stuctured as below

Column1(Question),Column2(responses)

 

Option 1) you can either transpose the data using generic load, refer below

Option 2)Or Just use a Pivot table to drag column1(header rows) as Column labels

Thank you for your reply! I think you may be right; a pivot table would probably be the best way to go about this. Here is what it looks like now:

Do you know if there is a way to get the values to display as text rather than 1s?

Thanks again!

Instead of count() or sum() Use 

=MaxString(TextfieldName)
