Convert Multiple Rows in a single Comma Seprated value

Is is possible to convert miltiple rows in a single value by concatenating each row value in OBIEE. I think OI had seem a blog post relted to this by I'm not able to to find it again. Basically Here is what I would like to do:
Customer number Location
101 IL
101 NY
101 PA
102 TX
102 CA
Convert this to
101 IL, NY, PA
102 TX,CA
Can someone please let me know if this is possible and how to make it work.
Thanks you for the help in advance.

You can do this by creating a DB function,

SQL Query to convert multiple rows to a single row output

I have the following sql query;
SELECT B.ClientID,
B.BillNo, B.[BillDate],
B.CurrencyCode,
B.BAmount
FROM tblCompanyDetails CD
CROSS
APPLY (
SELECT TOP 5 B1.ClientID,
B1.[BillNumber],
B1.[BillDate], B1.[CurrencyCode] AS CCY,
B1.[BillAmount]
FROM tblBills B1
WHERE ROUND(B1.[BillAmount],2)<>0
AND B1.ClientID=CD.CompanyID
AS B
WHERE CD.ContactId=235405
ORDER
BY B.ClientID,B.BillNo
DESC
This gives me the following row output;
ClientID
BillNo
BillDate
CurrencyCode
BAmount
94466
425616
2015-04-07
GBP
5000
94466
424517
2015-01-15
GBP
6000
94466
424455
2014-10-15
GBP
4000
However, I would like the ouput to appear like this;
ClientID
BillNo1
BillDate
CCY
BAmount
BillNo2
BillDate
CCY
BAmount
BillNo3
BillDate
CCY
BAmount
94466
425616
2015-04-07
GBP
5000
424517
2015-01-15
GBP
6000
424455
2014-10-15
GBP
4000

I have tried to create a sample based on your question
CREATE TABLE MyTable
ClientID INT ,
BillNo INT,
BillDate DATE,
CurrencyCode varchar(5),
BAmount INT
INSERT INTO MyTable
VALUES (94466,425616,'2015-04-07','GBP',5000),
(94466,424517,'2015-01-15','GBP',6000),
(94466,424455,'2014-10-15','GBP',4000)
Then I have used another table to put ranking in that, you can actually tweak your statement to include rank also
CREATE TABLE RowTable
ClientID INT ,
BillNo INT,
BillDate DATE,
CurrencyCode varchar(5),
BAmount INT,
Ranking INT
INSERT INTO RowTable
SELECT * , ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ClientID) as row
FROM MyTable
Once your data is ready then execute below dynamic query
DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
@query AS NVARCHAR(MAX)
select @cols = STUFF((SELECT ',' + QUOTENAME(col+cast(Ranking as varchar(10)))
from RowTable
cross apply
select 'BillNo', 1 union all
select 'BillDate', 2 union all
select 'CurrencyCode', 3 union all
select 'BAmount' , 4
) c (col, so)
group by col, so, Ranking
order by Ranking, so
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
,1,1,'')
set @query = 'SELECT ClientId,' + @cols + '
from
select clientid, col+cast(Ranking as varchar(10)) col, value
from RowTable
cross apply
SELECT ''BillNo'', cast(BillNo as varchar(20)) union all
SELECT ''BillDate'', cast(BillDate as varchar(20)) union all
SELECT ''CurrencyCode'', CurrencyCode union all
SELECT ''BAmount'', CAST(BAmount as varchar(10))
) c (col, value)
) x
pivot
max(value)
for col in (' + @cols + ')
) p '
execute sp_executesql @query;

Hope this will help.

Convert multiple row field to single line

Firstly: Apologies I am not a developer and am learning how to use crystal by error and hardwork.. so I'm a little slow on the lingo and the uptake.
I am creating a report that has under "details" a field {jobTests.testTypeName} this currently finds all tests associated with the job and lists them one under another. i.e
(Job blah blah) Test1
                      Test3
                      Test7
                      Test9
Job info (blah blah) is displayed by a different field under the details tab, it is not associated.
Then it repeats with the next job until all jobs under a PO are completed, then it moves to the next PO and continues
To save space I need to list the Tests beside one another i.e Test1, Test 3, Test7, Test9.
I haven't been able to work out how to do this at all.
OR
If it is possible can anyone tell me how to take the list of Tests that are output and enter them under an IF THEN statement...
I can choose one TEST and rename (as shown below) but I need to be able to choose a group of specific tests i.e   If Test1 + Test3 + Test7 + Test9 Then display "Group 1"
If {jobTests.testTypeName} = "TEST1" Then
   "T1"
Else
   {jobTests.testTypeName}
Thanks to anyone who can help. I hope my question makes sense.
Edited by: Kathryn Todd on Nov 11, 2008 4:01 PM fixed typo

Hi Kathryn,
If you haven't done so already, create a group on the Job.
In the Group Header for Job, create a formula like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Tests := "";
In the Detail section, create a formula like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Tests;
Tests := Tests & {jobTests.testTypeName} & " ";
Create a third formula in the Group Footer for the Job like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Tests;
Here's what's happening. The first formula is in the Group Header to define and initialize the variable called Tests. The variable will be reset for each new Job otherwise you'd eventually get all the tests for all the jobs.
The second formula will create your string.
The last formula will display the string for each test.
Good luck,
Brian

Multiple rows in a single row.

I want to know how can I store the values of multiple rowe in a single row.for an example..
machine name    manchine no frequency   month
Lathe                  MOO1          yearly         jan
Lathe                  MOO1          halfyearly   feb
Lathe                  MOO1         weekly       march and so on
I want this in a single row..
like                        jan       feb             march
Lathe       M001   yearly     halfyearly   weekly.
and in a single row I want this as per the month specified .
In my report I have 12 months distribution for each machine.

Taruna,
Just make sure understand the scenario correctly. Would you like to store the row in DB like this:
Lathe MOO1 yearly jan,feb,mar
then you expect to show in the report like this:
Lathe MOO1 yearly jan
Lathe MOO1 yearly feb
Lathe MOO1 yearly mar
Yes, you can do it this way, but somehow break the 1st principle of DB schema design - Atomic
Of course, you need to convert jan,feb,mar into list and display for each row.
string monthStr = "jan,feb,mar";
string [] months = monthStr.Split(",");
Kind Regards

Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

Select or deselect multiple rows with one single selection event

Does anyone know how to create a JTable which can select or deselect multiple rows with one single selection event in JTable. Fore example, if the table has
row1
row2
row3
row4
row5
row6
What I need is when user select row1 or row2, both row1 and row2 should be set to be selected. Then if user press CTRL and click one of row3 or row4, both of them should be selected including the previouse selected row1 and row2.
For deselection, if row1 and row2 are selected, when users deselect one of row1 or row2, both of them should be deselected.
Hopefully someone can give me a hint.

Here is a partial solution using a JList. Only one line gets highlighted when the user makes a selection in the list. But, two lines are returned. There is a blank line between every two lines.
     private void addLineToList() {
          String a = f_one.getText();
          String b = f_two.getText();
          if (a.length() == 0) {
               Utils.showInformationMessage("Item field is empty.");
               f_one.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          if (b.length() == 0) {
               Utils.showInformationMessage("Match field is empty.");
               f_two.requestFocusInWindow();
               return;
          model.addElement("item: " + a);
          model.addElement("match: " + b);

          int size = model.getSize();

          f_two.setText("");
          f_one.requestFocusInWindow();

Trying to convert multiple rows into multipe columns within a single row

I am trying to convert data from multiple rows into multiple columns. Let me see if I can paint the picture for you.
Here is a sample of the table i am trying to read from:
Company Name Account
1 Sam 123
1 Sam 234
1 Joe 345
1 Sue 789
1 Sue 987
1 Sue 573
I am trying to put this into a View that would have the data represented as such:
Company Name Acct1 Acct2 Acct3 Acct4
1 Sam 123 234 <null> <null>
1 Joe 345 <null> <null> <null>
1 Sue 789 987 573 <null>
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Multiple rows Converge to Single row and join

Hi Folks,
I am facing a tricky challenge to join a table with multiple rows and converge into a single row (based on ID, period) and join with another table to get a single row. Let me explain.
Table 1: DTL_TABLE (id, period, course, names, title, type)
1 2010 mat john null null
1 2010 mat jim null null
1 2010 cam null officer null
1 2010 cam null Prof null
1 2010 phy null null Inclass
1 2010 phy null null Online
Join with
Table 2: ID_TABLE(id, period, Loc, Dept, Code)
1 2010 nj 101 CC.
Output format (id, period, course, names, title, type, Loc, Dept, Code)
result : 1 2010 mat,cam,phy john,jim officer,prof inclass,online nj 101 CC
I have created all the DDLs and DMLs if that help. Kindly let me know if a Join SQL query is possible.
Thank you,
Aj

Is there a way in Oracle to return multiple rows as a single string?

Hi gurus,
I just got help from your guys fixing my dynamic sql problem. What I am doing in that function is to return a single string from multiple rows and I use it in the select statement. It works fine once the problem was solved. But is there any way in Oracle to do this in the select statement only? I have a table that stores incidents (incident_id is the PK) and another table that stores the people that are involved in an incident.
Incident_table
(incident_id number PK);
Incident_people_table
(incident_id number PK/FK,
person_id number PK);
Now in a report, I need to return the multiple rows of the Incident_People_table as a single string separated by a comma, for example, 'Ben, John, Mark'. I asked the SQL Server DBA about this and he told me he can do that in SQL Server by using a variable in the sql statement and SQL Server will auomatically iterate the rows and concatenate the result (I have not seen his actual work). Is there a similar way in Oracle? I have seen some examples here for some similar requests using the sys_connect_by_path, but I wonder if it is feasible in a report sql that is already rather complex. Or should I just stick to my simpler funcion?
Thanks.
Ben
