How to display data as separate clumns when db data is as different rows

Question

Hi,
I think i have been confusing the group with UI details.
The basic requirement is " To display the data as columns which is present as rows in the table"
For example : For customer 1 ,there are 4 accounts. This info is available in the db table as 4 rows.
But the OAF display has to be like customer <<account 1 name>><<account 2  name>><<account 3 name>><<account 4 name>>
Also these needs to be advanced table in advanced table in the same feature.
Also all the account name columns are dynamic. There can be 3 accounts for one case and 4 for other and hence needs to be built in CO and cant be defined.
Please advise how do i code different row data as columnar data in a table or advanced table in oaf.
Does this description help you to help me .
Thanks,
Rma

Hi Rma,
Please try something like this:
drop table t_;
create table t_ (
nm Varchar2(20),
pr Char ( 7),
vl Number
insert into t_ values ('company 1','2003-06', 10);
insert into t_ values ('company 1','2003-07', 29);
insert into t_ values ('company 1','2003-08', 39);
insert into t_ values ('company 1','2003-09', 41);
insert into t_ values ('company 1','2003-10', 22);
insert into t_ values ('company 2','2003-06', 13);
insert into t_ values ('company 2','2003-07', 17);
insert into t_ values ('company 2','2003-08', 61);
insert into t_ values ('company 2','2003-09', 55);
insert into t_ values ('company 2','2003-10', 71);
insert into t_ values ('company 3','2003-06', 33);
insert into t_ values ('company 3','2003-07', 18);
insert into t_ values ('company 3','2003-08', 27);
insert into t_ values ('company 3','2003-09', 5);
insert into t_ values ('company 3','2003-10', 32);
select
nm,
jul,
aug,
sep,
jul+aug+sep "Total"
from (
select
nm,
max(case when pr='2003-07' then vl else null end) jul,
max(case when pr='2003-08' then vl else null end) aug,
max(case when pr='2003-09' then vl else null end) sep
from
t_
group by
nm);
This query returns:
NM JUL AUG SEP Total
company 1 29 39 41 109
company 2 17 61 55 133
company 3 18 27 5 50
