Groups into Multiple Columns

Post Author: Donamese
CA Forum: General
I am trying to create a report that is split between 3 companies and all states using a distinct count of individuals (as there are duplicates in the data pool). I would like the report to look like:
State             Company 1                Company 2                 Company 3
AL                       0                                 16                           5
AR                      3                                  9                             4
AZ                       5                                 0                              7
Currently I can only get it to list vertical like:
Company 1
AL       0
AR      3
AZ       5
Company 2
AL     16
etc....
I am unable to get the formating of multiple columns with the grouping. Is it possible? And if

Try inserting a Cross Tab in the Report or page header. Its pretty much like a pivot table.
Use State as the Row, Company as the Column, Individuals as Summarized field using Distinct Count as the summary type.
In customized style part of the cross tab you can hide some of the totals and such to get pretty close to the report above - supress subtotals and such.
Hope this works for you. I was pretty excited when I found this feature in Crystal.

Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail. I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this. I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank. What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
category1
rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
value1   value1    value1   value1
value2   value2    value2   value2
category2
rank1     rank2     rank3
value1   value1    value1
value2   value2    value2
I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column. Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess. Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment? In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
1) Group the report on Category
2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
3) Place a crosstab in this section
4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
Let me know how this goes.

How can I separate one column into multiple column?

How can I separate one column into multiple column?
This is what I have:
BUYER_ID ATTRIBUTE_NAME ATTRIBUTE_VALUE
0001 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0001
0001 EMAIL [email protected]
0001 CURRENCY USD
0002 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0002

0002 CURRENCY USD
0003 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0003

This is what I would like to have:
BUYER_ID PHONE_NUMBER EMAIL CURRENCY
0001 555-555-0001 [email protected] USD
0002 555-555-0002 [email protected] USD
0003 555-555-0003 [email protected] CAD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is another solution. Suppose your actual table's name is test(which has the redundant data). create a table like this:
CREATE TABLE test2 (BUYER_ID number(10),PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(50),EMAIL varchar2(50),CURRENCY varchar2(50));
then you will type this procedure:
declare
phone_number_v varchar2(50);
EMAIL_v varchar2(50);
CURRENCY_v varchar2(50);
cursor my_test is select * from test;
begin
for my_test_curs in my_test loop
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO phone_number_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='PHONE_NUMBER';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO EMAIL_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='EMAIL';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO CURRENCY_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='CURRENCY';
INSERT INTO test2
VALUES (my_test_curs.person_id,phone_number_v,EMAIL_v,CURRENCY_v);
END LOOP;
END;
Then you will create your final table like this:
create table final_table as select * from test2 where 1=2;
After that write this code:
INSERT ALL
into final_table
SELECT DISTINCT(BUYER_ID),PHONE_NUMBER,EMAIL,CURRENCY
FROM TEST2;
If you have a huge amount of data in your original table this solution may take a long time to do what you need.

Put this code in ur script component. Before that add 5 columns to the script component output and name them as ID, col1, co2..,col4. ID is of data type int. Create a flat file destination and name it as connection and point it to the flat file as the source.
Im not sure whats the delimiter in ur flat file between the 2 columns. I have use a comma change it accordingly.
This is the output I get:
ID Col1
Col2 Col3
Col4

Sam
2 tom

Displaying single value (Record) into multiple columns

Hi All,
I want to display the single record into multiple columns. Please let me know How to achieve this..
Record:
Lvl Activity Acre
6 Week 4 (Same value to be displayed into 3 columns.)
REquired output:
lvl Activity PH1 PH2 PH3
6 Week 4 4 4
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for immediate reply.
PH1, PH2, PH3, ... will go more columns based on parameter , what we are passing.An single SQL statement cannot have a dynamic number of columns based on the data itself. The projection (columns returned) have to be known before any data is fetched... and that includes some 'parameter' value.
{thread:id=2309172}
You can build a query dynamically, based on a parameter or even on the data, but 99 times out 100 people use dynamic queries where they are not needed.
Perhaps explain to us what you are really trying to achieve and why, and we could suggest some better way.

Split one row into multiple columns

Hi,
Data in one CLOB column in a table storing with delimiter, ##~~##. Ex. ##~~##abc##~~##defgh##~~##ijklm##~~##nopqr (data starts with delimiter). Please help me to split the data into multiple rows like below and it should be in the same order.
abc
defgh
ijklm
nopqr
I am using Oracle 11g.
Thanks.

Thanks Hoek for your response. Before posting my question in the forum, I tried similar query. It is working with one character as delimiter.
with test as (select 'ABC,DEF,GHI,JKL,MNO' str from dual )
select regexp_substr (str, '[^,]+', 1, rownum) split
from test
connect by level <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^,]+')) + 1;
Above query is giving correct result by fetching 5 rows. I have modified the query like below...
with test as (select 'ABC,,,DEF,,,GHI,,,JKL,,,MNO' str from dual )
select regexp_substr (str, '[^,,,]+', 1, rownum) split
from test
connect by level <= length (regexp_replace (str, '[^,,,]+')) + 1;
Above query resulting 13 rows and last 8 rows are nulls. Number of null rows are increasing, if I increase number of characters in delimiter. Could you please tell me how to avoid those null rows.
Thanks.

The best approach is to NOT split them out into individual columns... It violates the 1st normal form...
Under first normal form, all occurrences of a record[sic] type must contain the same number of fields[sic].
First normal form excludes variable repeating fields[sic] and groups.
The better approach is to split them into rows, in their own table, with a foreign key reference back to the table you are pulling them away from.
If you check my 1st post you'll see that I split the string with a function. That same a function can be used to populate the new table.
Something along these lines...
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#BadOldDesign') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #BadOldDesign;
CREATE TABLE #BadOldDesign (

Sorry, I don't know much about Toad. If Toad is returning 0 rows, and the same query is returning 8 rows in SQL*Plus, then I suspect you are not connecting to the same database or the same user. ASre you sure you're running the exact same query in both front ends?

Where is the explanation of how you get the results you want from that data? There are a lot of different ways to get the same results from the same data, especially from a small set of sample data. I might provide a query that gets the right results for the wrong reasons, and when you run that query on a different set of data, it won't necessarily work. That's exactly what happened before. I guessed at what you wanted, but I guessed wrong. Guessing is not a very efficient or reliable way to solve problems. Don't make people guess: explain what you want.
In particular, explain how you can tell, buy looking at a row and column in the original table, to which row and which column of the output it corresponds. I'm pretty sure that the id column of the table always corresponds to either the id1 or idl2 column of the output, and that value always corresponds to either val1 or val2. From this latest set of sample data, it looks like all the rows in table_x that start with 'smple_val' will correspond to the id1 and val1 columns, and that all therows that start with 'smple_other_' will correspond to the id2 and val2 columns. It also looks like each row of the output represents a unique value of the last character of table_x.id.
If I guessed right this time, then what you want is:
SELECT       MIN (CASE WHEN id LIKE 'smple\_val\_%'   ESCAPE '\' THEN id    END)     AS id1
,       MIN (CASE WHEN id LIKE 'smple\_val\_%'   ESCAPE '\' THEN value END)     AS val1
,       MIN (CASE WHEN id LIKE 'smple\_other\_%' ESCAPE '\' THEN id    END)     AS id2
,       MIN (CASE WHEN id LIKE 'smple\_other\_%' ESCAPE '\' THEN value END)     AS val2
FROM       table_x
GROUP BY SUBSTR (id, -1)
ORDER BY SUBSTR (id, -1)
;But this is only a guess. I can't guarrantee that this will work on your real data any better than my last guess did. You'll get better answers faster if you provide an explanation, so that poeple don't have to guess so much.

Page caption text won't flow into multiple columns : LR4 book module

Hi,
I'm in process of creating a photobook using LR4's Book Module. Whenever I create a multiple columns page or photo caption, the text won't flow from the 1st column into the suceeding column... does this happen to anybody else. The multiple columns feature however does work for normal text placeholders.

Dorin,
You guess right but that's not very useful to me because sometimes I just want to have a few lines of text at the bottom or at the top of the photo but in 2 or 3 columns for easier reading. I can do that with text placeholders like the one below and the ability to do that with page or photo caption would be desirable too.

How to insert parameter value into multiple columns and rows

Hi All,
I have one procedure insert_tab and I am passing
100~101~102:103~104~105:106~107~108 as a parameter to that procedure. I wanted to insert each numeric value into one column. The output of the table should contain

To split a column into multiple columns

Hi,
I have column and i want to split it into three columns as shown below given inputs and required outputs. I have written this query to get P_1, and p_2 but dont know how to get p_3.
SELECT ADDRESS,SUBSTR(ADDRESS,1, INSTR(ADDRESS,' ')-1) P_1
     ,SUBSTR(ADDRESS, instr(address,' ',-1)+1) P_2
     FROM TT
Input:
ADDRESS
1 AVENUE OF THE AMERICAS
2 NORTH CAROLINE STREET EAST
236 TURPENTINE ROAD COOPER CREEK
REQUIRED OUTPUT
P_1     P_2     P_3
1     AMERICAS     AVENUE OF THE
2     EAST     NORTH CAROLINE STREET
236     CREEK     TURPENTINE ROAD COOPER
Thanks in advance

Group by multiple columns problem

I am having some problems with my query. For example:
SELECT STUDENTNUMBER FROM REGISTRATION
WHERE TERM='A1' AND YEAR=2008
GROUP BY STUDENTNUMBER
HAVING COUNT( COURSECODE) = 1;
which returns:
STUDENTNUMBER
123456
789012
6 rows selected
Which is ok, but the problem is i want to list out not only studentnumber but also the coursecode,year and the term of students. But if i do this:
SELECT STUDENTNUMBER,COURSECODE,YEAR,TERM,
FROM REGISTRATION WHERE TERM='A1'AND YEAR=2008
GROUP BY (STUDENTNUMBER,COURSECODE,YEAR,TERM)
HAVING COUNT( COURSECODE) = 1;
i got 50+ records in which most of them are duplicates!. To put it shortly i want the 6 records but with the coursecode,year,studentnumber and term listed. is there a workaround for this?

Thanks everyone for your suggestion!
I end up using Arun's query but modify it slightly to this:
SELECT STUDENTNUMBER,COURSECODE,YEAR,TERM
FROM REGISTRATION WHERE STUDENTNUM IN(
SELECT STUDENTNUMBER FROM REGISTRATION
WHERE TERM='A1' AND YEAR=2008
GROUP BY STUDENTNUMBER
HAVING COUNT(COURSECODE) = 1) AND TERM='A1' AND YEAR=2008;
Using the multiple set functions would also yields the same result.Anyway i would post the create table statements and insert statements for everyone's references.
CREATE TABLE REGISTRATION(
     CourseCode     VARCHAR(15)     NOT NULL     ,
     Year          NUMBER(4)     NOT NULL     ,
     Term          VARCHAR(5)     NOT NULL     ,
     StudentNumber     NUMBER(12)     NOT NULL     ,
     Lecturer          NUMBER(12)     NOT NULL     ,
     Grade          NUMBER(5,2)               ,
     CONSTRAINT REGISTRATION_PKEY PRIMARY KEY(CourseCode, Year, Term, StudentNumber, Lecturer),
     CONSTRAINT REGISTRATION_FKEY1 FOREIGN KEY(CourseCode) REFERENCES COURSE(CourseCode),
     CONSTRAINT REGISTRATION_FKEY2 FOREIGN KEY(StudentNum) REFERENCES STUDENT(StudentNumber),
     CONSTRAINT REGISTRATION_FKEY3 FOREIGN KEY(Lecturer) REFERENCES ACADSTAFF(StaffNum)
Insert statements:
INSERT INTO REGISTRATION VALUES('CSE235',2008,'A1',1292601,2001,null);
INSERT INTO REGISTRATION VALUES('CSE235',2008,'A2',8290012,2001,null);
INSERT INTO REGISTRATION VALUES('CSE235',2008,'A2',7246935,2002,null);
I want to list the student number, coursecode, year and term of students who registers for only one course in term "A1" in 2008.The result:
STUDENTNUM COURSECODE YEAR TERM
3000911 CSE101 2008 A1
3335010 CSE101 2008 A1
3011724 CSE101 2008 A1
8754117 CSE101 2008 A1
1032858 CSE101 2008 A1
3292880 CSE101 2008 A1
6 rows selected.

How to insert signals into multiple columns in db, dbtoolset

I have a labVIEW program that is currenly simulating voltage and a current signal using the DAQ Assistant. I'm using the database connectivity toolset. I am currently able to insert one signal into the database converted to a float(I can insert both into the same column as bianary but it needs to be stored as a usable format and in seperate columns.)
The problem I am having is at the DB Tools Insert Data block. I have the connection, dbTable, error code, and create table boolean being passed into it. Where I am a little lost is how to set the columns I want to store the multiple signals into.
If someone could break that part down for me that would be great. In short, I want to store voltage(channel0) and current(channel1) from the DAQ Assistant into their own respective columns in the db.

As I have often pointed out, the easiest solution to this situation is to dump the Database Connectivity Toolkit. Check out this thread and follow the references in it. If the DCT weren't in the way what you are wanting to do would be very easy.
