Combine 2 specific column values into one column

Is there an easy solution to combine column values that is in a group?
In my report I have 1 column group named Activity_Area which has 5 different values Activity 1, Activity2...Activity5.
Let's say I want to merge Activity 4 and Activity 5 and call it ActivityX and gives me the output as below
Activity 1 | Activity 2 | Activity 3 | ActivityX

Hi Jhonny86,
According to your description, you create a field in database and it contains five values. Then you want to only display four values in report column group, and the last two values should be replaced by “ActivityX”, right?
In your scenario, you can create an table like below:
create table Act(id int,activity varchar(99))
insert into Act select 1,'Activity 1'
insert into Act select 2,'Activity 2'
insert into Act select 3,'Activity 3'
insert into Act select 4,'Activity 4'
insert into Act select 5,'Activity 5'
Then query the table with code like below in query designer, then add the field [Act] into the column group.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Hi,
Try giving CHR(10) for line feed.
DECLARE
     CURSOR C4 IS SELECT CONTENT FROM CHAT WHERE TOID = :BLOCK3.FROMID;
     Str_Temp VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
     :BLOCK3.TXT_TO := '';
     OPEN C4;
     LOOP
          FETCH C4 INTO Str_Temp;
          EXIT WHEN C4%NOTFOUND;
          :BLOCK3.TXT_TO := :BLOCK3.TXT_TO || CHR(10) || Str_Temp;
     END LOOP;
     CLOSE C4;
END;Regards,
Manu.

How to integrate existing value into one in hierarchy char.

I have a char. hierarchy call ZCOMP_CODE. ZLEADER is compounding with ZCOUNTRY.
The master data in ZCOMP_CODE looks like
ZLEADER;ZCOMP_CODE;
010;1000;
010;1001;
010;1002;
020;1000;
021;1000;
In query I have char. ZCOMP_CODE in row and one KF ZREVENUE in column. Previously we calculated ZLEADER 010,020,021 separately. But, now I want to calculated ZLEADER 020 and 021 together. Does anyone know how to integrate two existing value into one and display it in query? Do I need to create a new hierarchy node for including 020,021?
Thanks!
rajatina.

don't know how you can achieve this in the query...
but in the workbench there's a solution. Just add a routine in the transformation to change 021 to 020.
if you need to have still the 021 info somewhere, create a ZCOMPANY_CODE2 where you store only the values needed (010, 020)... use this company code as hierarchy in the report, and use the other company code for displaying the 021...
hope it's clear,

HT204053 how do I combine all my apple ids into one apple id

Is there a way to combine all my apple ids into one new apple id so all my previous purchases are on one id?
Thanks

Unfortunately, you can't. IDs can't be merged. You'll just have to pick the ID whose itunes account has the most purchased items.

How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

I found out how to do what I wanted and I'm giving my steps in hopes that it might help someone else. I wanted to put several photos from a file onto a new blank image. This is what I did.
1. Create a blank page.    File/New/ Blank File.   Put in the size. I used 8x10.
2. Bring the photo you want to use into Elements as you always do. It will list along the top next to the blank sheet.
3. Choose SELECT (top of screen)/ Select All.
4. Choose Edit/Copy   or Command "C"
5. Click on the Blank File.   Chose Edit/Paste or Command "V"
6. Click on Image/ Transform or Command "T". There should be a dotted line around your pasted image. You can then move and adjust the image to how you want it. When finished, press the check-mark on lower right of photo.
7.   Repeat this with all the photos you want on the new blank file.
8. You will see on lower right of Elements, the background layer and as many layers as you have photos. These layers need to be permanently placed on the background layer. Go to Layers and press Merge Visible. This will merge all layers to the background.
9. Save as and you are done.

Hi aho,
You would need either Acrobat (link to free 30 day trial) or our PDF Pack subscription service to perform that task.

These are normally delimted in HTTP by a semicolon. You can concatenate the string yourself and on the reverse trip use StringTokenizer to get the values back out.

Combining 2 grahics or more into one

Using AS3 code, is it possible to combine 2 graphics or more into one?
Example : combining a rectangle and a triangle to make a nice arrow?

Do you know anything about AS3 drawing API - I guess this is what you need to use:
This is an example of how one can draw rectangle:
var sp:Sprite = new Sprite();
sp.graphics.beginFill(0xff0000);
sp.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, 100,200);
sp.graphics.endFill();
addChild(sp);

Obviously you shouldn't. If you send yourself a message to [email protected], do you get more than one message delivered? What address shows in the 'To' field? (if just your name shows, click and hold on it to show the address).

Merging different values into one column

Hi all,
If my report has two columns A and B. For one value of A, there are multiple values coming from database for B.
So, report displays them like this:
A     B
1     x
1     y
1     z
Is it possible somehow that i can merge all possible values of B in one row instead of many. i.e. report should look like this:
A     B
1     x,y,z
Please reply with your suggestions.

Hi,
It is possible that can merge all B column values in one row.
Steps:-
1. First you create an object for B using @aggregate_Aware() function like
@Aggregate_Aware(TableName.B,TableName.B)+', '
Object qualification should be measure. Here B is the column name.
2. In WebI report drag and drop A and B objects
3. Run the report
Now you will get the result.

Sql loader - mutiple values into one column

Hi,
Is it possible to load multiple fields into one column. Eg, my table structure has two columns COL1, COL2 and my data file is comma delimted with 3 fields A,B,C.
How could i use sql loader to achieve (without the use of temp tables)
COL1 = A
COL2 = BC
Thanks

I don't understand why you can't modify the input fille.
But anyway, i have 2 ways to help you
1. Make new inputfile online using pipe and awk(or something your are familiar with) and use it as new input file.
This is a traditional and powerful method in Unix environment.
For instance:
oracle> $ mknod pipe.dat p
oracle> cat input.dat | awk '{print ...}' > pipe.dat &
oracle> sqlldr ctl=.. data=pipe.dat
Using this method, you don't need to modify original input file physically, but by some magical trick you can modify it on the fly.
2. Use before trigger
For instance:
create table load(a int, b int, c int, d int);
create or replace trigger load_trigger
before insert on load
for each row
begin
:new.d := :new.b + :new.c;
:new.b := null;
:new.c := null;
end;
load data
infile *
append
into table load
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(a, b, c)
begindata
1, 1, 1
2, 2, 2
3, 3, 3
4, 4, 4
sqlldr userid=... ctl=load.ctl
SQL> select * from load;
A B C D
1 2
2 4
3 6
4 8
You won't like the existence of unnecessary columns(B, C) but don't have choice. ^^;
I think there is another simple way provided by SQL*Loader. But i've never tried it myself. Read following doc and try it yourself:

I am using MM at present. All fields are KeyFields here. Should check against each other.
I followed Context setting to the Root Item and Sort, SplitByValue and CollapseContext to achieve the functionality.
But it checks against each field and not all fields. So either one field has different value, only that perticular field gets into New Node and not the entire record. In this case, i might need UDF i guess. Any UDF help is much appreciated

How to combine data from two rows into one row

I have the following sets of data. I want to find all the duplicate sets of field values. in the data below there is only one duplicate set: brenda, analyst, green.
DocID and Doc Seq combine to form the set key. FieldID I believe are consistent in that 1 is always name, 2 is job, 3 is favorite color etc. but there are up to 20 field IDs.
To tell you the truth, my client is a bit sketchy about the data and the values. I would like collapse the sets by getting all the field values into a single row. They could be in the same column, or in their own columns. This way I can then look for whatever
dups my customer seems to think that he has.
the first image is what i want (either in same column or in different columns. but they have to be in the order of the FieldID), the second is what i have. THANKS

That "dual" table is oracle specific though right?Right; don't expect a dual table in a non-Oracle database.
I know this an oracle forum, but just out of curiosity would there be a quick non-oracle way to do this as well?Other databases may have their own specific ways of doing something similar. In SQL Server (I believe) you can simply omit the FROM clause.
If all else fails, create your own 1-row table. You can call it dual, if you want to.
CREATE TABLE dual
(   dummy   VARCHAR2 (1)
INSERT INTO dual (dummy) VALUES ('X');
COMMIT;
FULL OUTER JOIN doesn't use dual:
SELECT     *

FULL OUTER JOIN (SELECT col2 FROM tblB WHERE col2 = 'val2') b ON 1 = 1
