Combine rows?

I'm trying to combine two rows under one column.

    cr.report_name as report_name,
    ei.info as info
from SPSS.WEB_CLIENT_REPORTS_NFL CR, spss.web_report_extra_info_nfl EI
where cr.report_id = ei.report_idcurrent output

Edited by: user652714 on Nov 25, 2008 10:44 AMWouldn't that be nice, but no the SUM aggregate function doesn't operate on string data types. If you want to do something like SUM, you will need to create your own custom aggregate function. See the AskTom article cited earlier.
Do you have any column in your data that indicates the order in which your info column should be aggregated? if not you may get your phrases out of sequence and possibly generate a whole bunch of nonsense.

How to combine rows with small numbers into single "other" row?

How can I combine rows with value 6(for example) or lower to single row representing the SUM of all this values and label OTHER, so the pie chart will have a chance to display all small values combined?
I'm using Numbers 09

HI Peter,
When you write a decimal number, is the decimal separator a period ( . ) or a comma ( , )? If it's a comma, then the syntax error can be corrected by replacing the list separator in the formula, a comma in Jerry's formula, with a semi colon ( ; ):
=SUMIF(B; "<6"; B)
(Added): The two Bs appear in blue 'lozenges' in Jerry's image because that is the way cell (or column) references are displayed in Numbers when a formula has correct syntax.

Question related to combining rows...

Hi,
I have a question related to combining rows...
From our typical tables.... Dept and Emp.
I want a result set like....
Dept# | Employees
10 | <Emp1>, <Emp5>, <Emp6>
20 | <Emp7>, <Emp2>, <Emp8>, <Emp9>
30 | <Emp10>, <Emp11>

Plesae give me the query...
Thanks
Abdul.

How about this solution looks like?
create or replace
function fnc_concat_data(p_query VARCHAR2,P_ID NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
type res_tab is table of varchar2(20);
result_tab res_tab;
v_retval varchar2(256);
begin
execute immediate p_query || p_id BULK COLLECT into result_tab;
FOR i IN 1..result_tab.COUNT LOOP
v_retval := v_retval||','||result_tab(i);
END LOOP;
v_retval := substr(v_retval,2);
return (v_retval);
exception
when others then
return('Error');
end fnc_concat_data;

Combine rows based on column value

I'm trying to combine rows based off of a common value.
Table Data:
Result A
Player_ID   Player_Name Team_Name Points Sequence
99999       John Smith    Bulls              50         1
99999       John Smith    Pistons          14         2
What i want in the output
Result B
Player_ID Player_Name Team_Name Points
99999     John Smith      Bulls           64 (50 for Bulls)Here's my main query...
select player_id, player_name, team_name, points
from
          SELECT player_id, player_name, team_name, sum(points) sum_points
          FROM stats_data
          WHERE season_id = 2008
          AND points > 0
          GROUP BY player_id, player_name, team_name
          ) t
ORDER BY sum_points DESC, last_name;**The current query gives me the output from Result A
1) Not entirely sure how to combine data based of player_id
2) Once i figure out 1, im sure by adding the ('sum_points' for 'team_name') to the output can be done with a case statement, i think?

Sorry about that Frank.
Using: Oracle 10.2g
i was incorrect about the output of the query
          SELECT player_id, sum(points) sum_points
          FROM stats_data
          WHERE season_id = 2008
          AND points > 0
          GROUP BY player_id
)Output
Player_ID      Sum_Points
99999              20
55455               6
66489               2 So the subquery is outputing the correct data
The output of the original entire query(that you had posted) is:
Player_ID    Player_Name   Team_Name    Points
99999        John Smith      Bulls               16 (8 for Bulls)
55455        Bob Johnson    Rockets          6   (3 for Rockets)
66489        Chris Terry       Kings              2   (1 Kings)Here's some more raw sample data from the table:
Player_ID    Player_Name   Team_Name    Points     Sequence Game_Type_ID Team_ID
99999        John Smith      Bulls               12          1                       1                  5
99999        John Smith      Bulls               0            1                      -1                  5
99999        John Smith      Pistons            4           2                       1                 12
99999        John Smith      Pistons            0           2                       -1                12
55455        Bob Johnson    Rockets          4           1                        1                  3
55455        Bob Johnson    Rockets          0           1                       -1                  3
66489        Chris Terry       Kings              2           1                        1                  8
66489        Chris Terry       Kings              0           1                       -1                  8So your code frank is very close, the issue is that:
A) All players have a ('pt value' for 'team name') even if they played on the same team, which can prob. be solved with a case statement, which i tried to do in my last post.
WITH       grouped_data     AS
          SELECT player_id, sum(points) sum_points
          FROM stats_data
          WHERE season_id = 2008
          AND points > 0
          GROUP BY player_id
SELECT     g.player_id
,     s.player_name
,     s.team_name
(case when sequence = 2 then g.sum_points <==
     || '('
     || TO_CHAR (s.points)
     || ' for '
     || s.team_name
     || ')'
else to_char (g.sum_points)
END)     AS points
FROM     grouped_data     g
JOIN     stats_data     s     ON g.player_id     = s.player_id
WHERE     s.sequence     in (1,2)     <==
AND     s.season_id     = 2008
AND     s.points     > 0;the output has two issues, for players who played on more than one team, like Josh Smith the output comes out as
99999        John Smith      Pistons           20 (2 for Pistons)
99999        John Smith      Bulls               20While the players who played on one team came out correctly. So issue with my edit of your code is:
A) josh smith is output 2, needs to be output once
B)josh smith should say (Josh Smith Bulls 20 (4 for Pistons) not "99999 John Smith Pistons 20 (2 for Pistons)"
c) Issues with "99999 John Smith Pistons 20 (2 for Pistons)" is that it listing the wrong team for him: should be Bulls and listing half of his total with the pistons in the prentices should be 4. --The reason that is because s.points needs to be summed as based off of the data there's two entries
Hope this clears it up, thanks!

How to combine Row members in Create Composit Forms in Planning 9301

Hi All,
I'm working on Hyperion System9 Planning 9.3.01. I have created two data forms for Actuals and Budget data. Wherein in Actuals form the actual data is pulled from the Oracle GL and I'm entering the budget data in my Budget Form.
Now the question here is I wanted to combine these tow forms into a single form using "CreateComposite" option and I'm able to create the composite form for both actual and Budget form. But the composite form displays two separate forms side-by-side. Whereas I wanted to combine the Row members of both forms as both have same row members.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi sajid
There was nothing more description about your issue in this site and I found an issue below is mostly like yours
http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/855487/how-to-combine-two-table-value-in-rdlc-report
In the issue above, if you want to show the two other tables in the report, I think you could combine the tables into one datatable joining on key. The link below show an example of a DataSet Helper from Microsoft about combine DataSets. Take note of
the related content for other DataSet Helper examples. And then you could use the datatable in your RDLC.
# HOW TO: Implement a DataSet JOIN helper class in Visual C# .NET
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326080/en-us
In an alternative way, I think you could create a view in the database which combine your tables and use it in your rdlc.
In addition, your issue is about asp.net and you could get more support in the asp.net forum whose link as below.

How to combine rows?

This is probably a basic question, but I am rather new to this, so please bear with me. I have a table that contains a field for comments, and the comments are broken into chunks, something like this:
COMMENT_TABLE:
ID DIA_ID SEQ TEXT
== ====== === ====
01 000100 0 First part of comment.
02 000100 1 Second part of comment.
03 000101 0 Next comment, part 1.
04 000101 1 Next comment, part 2.
05 000101 2 Next comment, part 3.
06 000102 0 Another comment.
07 000103 0 Still another comment.
I would like to be able to run SQL against this table to combine the comments and end up with something like this:
DIA_ID TEXT
====== ====
000100 First part of comment. Second part of comment.
000101 Next comment, part 1. Next comment, part 2. Next comment, part 3.
000102 Another comment.
000103 Still another comment.
Is this possible, and if so, could someone give me an example of how to specify the SQL to do this?
Thanks very much!

Try this
select count(*),
trim(substr(max(substr(sys_connect_by_path (p.TEXT,','),2)),1,100)) as c2,
p.DIA_ID

TEXT,
row_number() over (partition by DIA_ID order by DIA_ID, TEXT) rn

start with p.rn = 1
connect by p.rn = prior p.rn + 1
and prior p.DIA_ID = p.DIA_ID

Combining rows to remove blank entries

Hi,
I have searched the forum to try and find an example of the problem I am having but
have not had any luck finding anything. Some help would be appreciated.
I am currently using Oracle 9i.
The problem is that I have a query, returning results as shown below
and I want to remove as many null values as possible.
Goals , Team1 , Team2
1 , Jim , NULL
1 , John , NULL
1 , NULL , Bob
2 , Harry , NULL
2 , NULL , Steve
3 , Jill ,NULL
3 , NULL , Penny
3 , NULL , Sally
The Goals column is numeric, is not unique and is always filled.
The Team1 column contains a name or is null.
The Team2 column contains a name or is null.
Either Team1 has a non null value or Team2 has a non null value.
They cannot both be filled or both be blank.
The result set I would like is an order on Goals, where we collapse the results as much as possible.
So that if a non null Team1 row and Team2 row exist for a given number of goals, they are shown on the same row.
We repeat this till all results are shown for a given number of goals.
If there are more results in Team1 than Team2 say for a given goals scored, we show the team1 result and null for team2 and vice versa.
If the Team1 and Team2 values can be sorted on name within the same goals scored, this would be great as well
To visualise this, the table would look like: -
Goals , Team1 , Team2
1 , Jim , Bob
1 , John , NULL
2 , Harry , Steve
3 , Jill , Penny
3 , NULL , Sally
Thanks for the help,
Rich

Here's an approach.

how to create this functionality in SharePoint 2010?

Hi,
Have you consider of making use of SharePoint Designer workflow?
Assuming the situation is almost as you described in original post, we could set the condition as If value equals value, then update list item. As I tested in my environment, here are some suggestions:
Set the workflow start automatically when item is created but not changed. If it starts when the item is changed, it will run one more time since the original item is to be updated.
When we sum the value in total column, we could use intermediate variable, then do calculation, then update list item.
At the end of the workflow, delete the current item.

Combine rows to one

Hi Guys,
Need to achive the following...
SERIAL_NO
PART_NO
VEHICLE_ID
171C
M-8
171C
M-1
593
Here I need to merge the two rows to one using the following column headers...
Serial_No Part_No1 Part_No2 Vehicle_ID
Here Part_No1 should have the record value where Vehicle_ID is Null
Thanks,
Napster

Try this.
WITH tab(SERIAL_N, PART_NO, VEHICLE_ID) AS
(SELECT '171C', 'M-8', NULL FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '171C', 'M-1', 593 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '171D', 'M-9', NULL FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT '171D', 'M-2', 765 FROM dual)
SELECT SERIAL_N,
        MIN(decode(VEHICLE_ID, NULL, part_no, NULL)) part_no_1,
        MIN(decode(VEHICLE_ID, NULL, NULL, part_no)) part_no_2,
        MIN(VEHICLE_ID)
FROM tab
group by SERIAL_N ;
Only condition is that there are two records for each serial_id and one having null vehicle_id, other wise it may give wrong output.

How to combine rows from different unrelated tables?

I need to create a report where the data are coming from 2 unrelated tables. My calculation needs data from both tables. Is this possible within Crystal Reports without having to write complicated SQL commands? If not, can someone provide an example of such a query?
thanks in advance
-Mark

Morning Mark,
Yes Amr is right however there has to be some sort of link between the two tables to create a join. For example a Order no from one table matches with other Order no.
There could be another possibility and that is if you have a third table which has two fields common to those two tables then when you bring the third table it will act as a middle man.
If you need to bring the information onto the report according to some sort of criteria then those two tables need to be linked togeather at some point otherwise it won't work.
For example
I have two tables, FOC and Customer, both have nothing in common however the third table Orders has fields which is common to FOC and Customer. So I linked the two tables via Orders table. Now when I open my report my results are based on the Customer and FOC number.
Hope this helps

Combine rows and Sum

I am using Oracle 10g.
I have data as follows.
ITEM|ITEMTYPE|QTY
1|A|10
1|B|15
2|C|20
2|D|25
3|E|30
3|F|30
Output Should be as follows.
ITEM|ITEMTYPE|QTY
1|A-B|25
2|C-D|45
3|E-F|60
Whether it could be possible through "Start with Connect by"
Please help on it.

You would have to present your case (at least) as
ITEM|ITEMTYPE|QTY
1|A|10
1|B|15
1|Q|25
1|R|35
1|Z|45
2|C|20
2|D|25
3|E|30
3|F|30
3|G|30
4|X|10
ITEM|ITEMTYPE|QTY
1|A-B-Q-R-Z|130
2|C-D|45
3|E-F-G|90
4|X|10
in the first place ;) and I might not (even now) got it right
I cannot provide a tested solution as I don't have database access

Edited by: Etbin on 15.1.2011 12:31
should look something like:
select item,substr(sys_connect_by_path(itemtype,'-'),2) itemtype,qty
from (select item,itemtype,sum(qty) over (partition by item order by itemtype) qty,
               row_number() over (partition by item order by itemtype) n
          from your_table
where connect_by_isleaf = 1
start with n = 1
connect by n = prior n + 1

Merging multiple rows in to a single row (when rows meet merging criteria)

Hi
I have a scenario to merge multiple rows in to a single rows when the data in those rows fall in merge criteria .Below is how my data is
Now the merging logic for the above rows is , we need to combine multiple rows in to a single row when the data in those rows permits us to do in that way. Simply saying , its like sandwich where we combine multiple things to a single piece.The output for
the above rows should be
Here we combined Row 1 ,2, 3 in to a single row as the data in those rows permits to merge in to single row. But the row 4 cannot be combined to any of those rows because the data in those rows doesn't permits us do a merge ( As the value of the column
JobSource for the row 4 is different from the other rows ) .
My original data has 56 columns , but for readability i kept only 9 columns.
can you please throw some idea on how to achieve this scenario. I know we need to use CTE for achieving this, but i am not able succeed in doing an iteration on multiple rows.
Appreciate your response .

Thanks for your reply .
Rule for merging is simple . First of all there is no unique row identifier for each row , the fact table is not having an identity column in the database . I called row 1 , row 2 etc in my post above only to make better explanation of my scenario.
The rule for merge is below.
1) we can combine only when the data in a column for one row is null & the data in same column for the other row is not null . It should also satisfy the condition where the data in other columns should conflict each other.
2) Data for all columns for the merging rows should not be conflicting (i.e. we should not merge the rows when the data in a column is not equal to the same column in the other row
,considering not null value)
Steps in merging the above source data :
1) Consider the case of row 1 and row 2 in the source, we can combine these rows as the data is satisfying the rule 1 for columns (Jobsource,Flight, Package,Update,Iscancelled
,Result, Severity) and columns (JobID and RuleName ) fall under rule 2. we merge these two rows in to a single row and keep in that in the table.
2) Then the resulting row is again merged with the second row which is present above by applying the rule 1 and rule 2 . Below would be output of merge operation.
Now there would be only two rows in the output . But these rows cannot be merged as the data doesn't satisfy the merge rules 2 . As Jobsource for the row 1 in the above output is "PresubmissionSource" which is not equal
to "PostSubmission" jobSource which is in row 2. So these two rows are left unmerged .So the above two rows would be the output of merge operation on my source data.
This process has to be repeated for all the rows in the table. As of now my table as 92 Million rows with 56 columns which need to be considered for merging rows. I replicated my scenario in 9 columns and 4 rows to understand better.

Reg:Arrangement of rows in UI table as our requirement....

Hi all,
In my Project I have an UI Table in which it is having 5 rows in that i have a column having Dropdown by keys and it will hold 5 possible values (Ex:Coverage type1,coverage type2.......coverage type5) and in which we will select two rows.
wenever we are pressing combine Button (Action) those two values will combine to geather and should come in one row i.e (After Pressing combine Coverage type1 & Coverage type2,Cverage type3.........coverage type5 in one Drop Down in one row).
iam able to do this the problem i have to solve is When ever iam combing two rows the combined two rows are coming at the last row but my wish is to get is:
Ex: If i Combine 1st row and 2 row those combined row should come at first.
if i Combine 2nd row and 1st row those combined row should come at Second.
if i combine 3rd row and 4th row those combined row should come at third.
like this it should hapeen so any one help me out in solving this issue.

Ha Mahesh,
Option 1: After removing your old rows (which I guess you do) and adding your new row, you could do a sort
//You need to create a Comprator yourself implementing a Comparator Interface.
Comparator cmp = new MySorter();
wdContext.getNodeBlahBlah.sortElements(cmp)
Option 2: After removing your old rows you can add your row and at the position you like.
int index = 2;
IWDNodeElement nodeElement = wdContext.createElement();
wdContext.getNodeBlahBlah.addElement(index, nodeElement);
Something like that ...

Formula for cross tab row

Post Author: bvandyck
CA Forum: Formula
The results of a row in a cross tab report need to be split out by percentages and added to the results of other rows. Each row is an individual, except one row is a combination of individuals. Certain individuals share in the results of the combination row. The combination row will be zero after being added to the individuals' rows. What is the formula for achieving this?

Hi,
U may create a new formula for that.
There is an option in cross tab expert for new formula.
U may create a formula of your choice and then insert in report.
