How to Unstack Multiple Form Responses in Google Sheets

Once you have familiarized yourself with the Query string aggregation concept, you can use the following formula to unstack your multiple form responses:
=ArrayFormula(query(query({Sheet1!A2:E,if(len(Sheet1!A2:A),row(Sheet1!A2:A)-match(Sheet1!A2:A&Sheet1!B2:B,Sheet1!A2:A&Sheet1!B2:B,0),)},"Select Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4, max(Col5) where Col1 is not null group by Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4 Pivot Col6"),"Select * offset 1",0))
Remember to modify the formula accordingly if you have a different data range. You can refer to the example and formula provided below to make the necessary adjustments:
=ArrayFormula(query(query({Sheet1!A2:C,if(len(Sheet1!A2:A),row(Sheet1!A2:A)-match(Sheet1!A2:A&Sheet1!B2:B,Sheet1!A2:A&Sheet1!B2:B,0),)},"Select Col1,Col2, - max(Col3) where Col1 is not null group by Col1,Col2 Pivot Col4"),"Select * offset 1",0))That’s it!
