Multiple Rows Into One Column Field

Hi All,
       Today I tried one query:
select wm_concat(ename) from emp
group by deptno;
I have a data that looks like this.
CLARK,KING,MILLER,SREE
JONES,FORD,ADAMS,SCOTT
ALLEN,MARTIN,BLAKE,TURNER,JAMES,WARD
Can someone help me to build an SQL command that would have the output as follows:
I need per column 3 values....
CLARK,KING,MILLER,
SREE,JONES,FORD,
ADAMS,SCOTT,ALLEN,
MARTIN,BLAKE,TURNER,

  • Combining multiple rows into one row

    Hi all.
    My most humble apology for this question but solutions in previous threads did not seem to help much.
    Apparently, my account has not been verified and I am currently at home with no access to the SQL code so i can't post the actual code.
    We have this (mockup) of code
    Select S.C1, AViewSS.Study, AViewSS.SlotName, IST.TakenByDate, IST.ScannedByTime, SE.TimepointCalculation
    From IST
    INNER JOIN
    AViewSS ON IST.GroupID = AViewSS.GroupID and
    IST.SlotID = AViewSS.SlotID
    INNER JOIN
    S ON AViewSS.StudyID = S.StudyID
    INNER JOIN
    SE ON IST.Line = SE.Line and IST.SubLine = SE.SubLine and
    AViewSS.ScheduleID = SE.ScheduleID
    WHERE
    (IST.GroupID = 92) and (IST.SlotID between 1791 and 1795)
    and (AViewSS.VisitID = 137)
    The query currently returns this result set
    Col 1   Col 2   Taken Date  Date 1                Date 2               Date 3             
    Scanned DateTime
    Data    Data    3/12/2015  3/12/2015 7:22

    You’ll notice that rows 1, 2, 3 are related as are rows 4, 5 and rows 6, 7, 8.
    This is what we ultimately want to see given the results above.
    In the report, rows 1, 2, 3 from the results should roll into one row with the ScannedByTimeStamp from each row returned by the query populating the appropriate report time column based on the value of a column in the row.

    We would appreciate any guidance.

    Hi Duane,
    The table and matrix data regions can display complex data relationships by including nested tables,matrices, lists, charts and gauges. Tables and matrices have a tabular layout and their data comes from a single dataset, built on a single data source. The
    key diference between tables and matrices is that tables can include only row groups, where as matrices have row groups and columns groups.

  • SQL Query -How2bring multiple results into one field using Formatted Search

    Hi Everyone
    i am trying to bring in the results of the field dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT using a formatted search into a row level using the following query:
    SELECT     dbo.LOT_ITEM.LOT
    FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN dbo.LOT_ITEM ON dbo.DLN1.ItemCode = dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM
    WHERE     dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM=$[DLN1.ItemCode]
    however the result of the dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT field could be more then one value depending on how many lots are assigned for that item
    (for example this query would be similar to assigning batch/serial numbers to an item being despatched - as you can choose multiple batches/serials depending on the quantities available and required and then move from the left to the right side of the selection window) if that makes sense!
    is it possible to bring in the multiple results into one field? and how can i amend the above query to include this?
    Thankyou in advance :o)

    Hi Suda
    Thanks for replying :o) but im not sure about the query?
    just to simplify it (as the query im working with is to do with 3rd party addons) i have used the serial/batchs field instead and used standard demo database fields from SBO 2005 sp01:
    SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
    FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                    dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
    WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode='g1000' and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = '193'
    The above brings me the relevant results but when i change it to be used in a formatted search:
    SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
    FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                    dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
    WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode=$[dln1.itemcode] and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = $[dln1.DocEntry]
    i cant seem to get it to work - now this may be because the serial number is not allocated until teh record is added to the system, however when this happens i am unable to go back in and manually trigger the query as the delivery note rows cannot be selected!
    i  think as what im originally wanting an answer for is same as this example, im wanting to know if this is even possible?
    Thanks

  • BI for NW04S: Concatenating multiple chars into one field in BI query

    Hi,
      We have BI for NW04S. We have a requirement of concatenating multiple characteristics into one field in the BI report. This single field should have the usual drill down and other olap functionalities that a single characteristic usually enjoy in a BI report.
      In BI for NW04 (Not the S) this probably can be done using the table interface in WAD. However in BI7 WAD functionality are through Java.
      Also can this be done using Query designer alone.
      Can anybody help?
      Thanks

    Hi,
      Can you please elaborate on your Query designer option. You can always have a variable and in the user exit can write code, but what is not clear that
    1> How will you acheive the contatenation done for every row of the report in the BEX user exit variable( since it's called during the beginning of the query execution and not for all rows of the report
    2> How do you transfer the char variable into a char field in the report.
    Please elaborate .
    Thanks

  • Select One Choice-select multiple attributes into mutiple columns

    Select One Choice-select multiple attributes into mutiple columns does not work.
    read-only view object view1 - columns a, b, c
    updatable view object view2 - also columns a, b, c
    Select One choice has the capability to bind multiple columns to multiple columns. I understand how this wizard is to be used for these multiple mappings, i.e., view2.a mapped to view1.a, view2.b mapped to view1.b, etc., and using 'select multiple...' for the display attribute. When I complete the 'List Binding Editor" correctly, in this example, only column a will be updated. Columns b,c, etc. will not be effected.

  • Merging rows into one row but into SEPARATE Columns

    Hello Gurus,
    I have searched alot on OTN and many other places, but no where I could get the solution of how can we merge rows into one row but separate column. For example
    Consider the below scenario
    "DEPARTMENT", "EMP","NAME","SUBJECT"
    "Electronics","1","Sam","LIC"
    "Electronics","2","Pam","VLSI"
    "Electronics","3","Tom","C"
    "Mech","1","Abu","Thermo"
    "Mech","4","Lina","Machines"Now, I need the output like
    Based on Department as Group By Clause
    "DEPARTMENT", "EMP1","NAME1","SUBJECT1","EMP2","NAME2","SUBJECT2","EMP3","NAME3","SUBJECT3"
    "Electronics","1","Sam","LIC","2","Pam","VLSI","3","Tom","C"
    "Mech","1","Abu","Thermo","4","Lina","Machines"
    The row data to be loaded into separate columns. Name of the column is not an issue... can be anythingIn all the forums which I went through I could find them loading into a single column, but not into respective separate columns.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Frank,
    I saw your name nearly n number of times, as I went through many forums today... And the link which you have just posted, I went through it today afternoon.
    Could you please explain this bit taken from your dynamic pivot post.
    SELECT     DISTINCT
         ',     COUNT (CASE WHEN job = '''
    ||     job
    ||     ''' '     AS txt1
    ,     'THEN 1 END)     AS '
    ||     job
    ||     '_CNT'     AS txt2
    FROM     scott.emp
    ORDER BY     txt1;Many Thanks.You only need that when you need column aliases based on the actual data (and you explicitly said you don't need that) or when can't put an upper bound on the number of columns to be displayed. If that doesn't apply to this problem, then don't use any kind of dynamic SQL (like the code above); it makes the job much more difficult, less efficient and less robust.
    Here's what the code above is doing.
    If you were hard-coding a query that showed the number of people in each job, and you knew that the possible jobs were 'ANALYST', 'CLERK' and 'MANAGER', then you might hard-code a query like this:
    SELECT    deptno
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'ANALYST'  THEN 1 END)     AS analyst
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'CLERK'    THEN 1 END)     AS clerk
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER'  THEN 1 END)     AS manager
    FROM       scott.emp
    GROUP BY  deptno
    ;If the jobs had different names, or if there were not 3 different jobs, then you would have to change the lines in the SELECT clause that start with ", COUNT ( CASE ...".
    The code you posted is from an example of dynamic SQL, where you first run a Preliminary Query . (What you posted above is, in fact, the complete preliminary query.) The output of that preliminary query is exactly the variable part of the real query, such as:
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'ANALYST'  THEN 1 END)     AS analyst
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'CLERK'    THEN 1 END)     AS clerk
    ,       COUNT (CASE WHEN job = 'MANAGER'  THEN 1 END)     AS managerYou then use this output as part of your main query. In other words, you can write something today that will generate exacrly as many columns as you need next year, with names from the data as it is next year. How? because you're not writing the full query today. The variable part will be written by the preliminary query when it runs next year.

  • Merge multiple rows into single row (but multiple columns)

    How to merge multiple rows into single row (but multiple columns) efficiently.
    For example
    IDVal IDDesc IdNum Id_Information_Type Attribute_1 Attribute_2 Attribute_3 Attribute_4 Attribute_5
    23 asdc 1 Location USA NM ABQ Four Seasons 87106
    23 asdc 1 Stats 2300 91.7 8.2 85432
    23 asdc 1 Audit 1996 June 17 1200
    65 affc 2 Location USA TX AUS Hilton 92305
    65 affc 2 Stats 5510 42.7 46 9999
    65 affc 2 Audit 1996 July 172 1100
    where different attributes mean different thing for each Information_type.
    For example for Information_Type=Location
    Attribute_1 means Country
    Attribute_2 means State and so on.
    For example for Information_Type=Stats
    Attribute_1 means Population
    Attribute_2 means American Ethnicity percentage and so on.
    I want to create a view that shows like below:
    IDVal IDDesc IDNum Country State City Hotel ZipCode Population American% Other% Area Audit Year AuditMonth Audit Type AuditTime
    23 asdc 1 USA NM ABQ FourSeasons 87106 2300 91.7 46 85432 1996 June 17 1200
    65 affc 2 USA TX AUS Hilton 92305 5510 42.7 46 9999 1996 July 172 1100
    Thanks

    Hi,
    That's called Pivoting . The forum FAQ has a section on this subject: {message:id=9360005}
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post your best attempt, along with a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data. (You did post the results you wanted, but they're very hard to read because they're not formatted. Use \ tags, as described in the forum FAQ, below.)
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get the results you want from the data given.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).  This is always important, but especially so with pivots.
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}

    If you had given a proper example this thread would have been over in two posts. What you are looking for is often described as an UNPIVOT.
    I tend to use a collection type for this, e.g.
    Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
    SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE varchar2_table AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 (4000);
      2  /
