Reformatting Table- convert columns to rows

Hi,
I have data tables that I would like to reformat so that the columns become rows and vice versa, if that is possible.
I've been keyword searching for hours, but unfortunately I am unfamiliar with the terminology... Sorry if this is really stupid; I'd appreciate any help! Thanks!

One more techie which doen't know what he respond about. The transpose function is not as efficient as we where hoping but it works.
Alas, the formulas are so weird that I thougt that the "transpose_live script is a better tool.
I was not able to find a 'menu' script within numbers but opened it on its own and it worked. Is there a way to have it be a choice within numbers itself?
The "Script menu" is a menu of its own.
If you apply what I described at the beginning of the script, you will have an area dedicated to Numbers.
We may organize the menu two ways:

Please look at the same scenario from the below link.
You can accomplish this by a "pivot" query. Please look at the small testcase that I prepared below:
SQL> desc t1
Name Null? Type
NAME VARCHAR2(10)
YEAR NUMBER(4)
VALUE NUMBER(4)
SQL>
SQL> select * from t1;
NAME YEAR VALUE
john 1991 1000
john 1992 2000
john 1993 3000
jack 1991 1500
jack 1992 1200
jack 1993 1340
mary 1991 1250
mary 1992 2323
mary 1993 8700
9 rows selected.
SQL> -- now, try out the pivot query
SQL> select year,
2 max( decode( name, 'john', value, null ) ) "JOHN",
3 max( decode( name, 'jack', value, null ) ) "JACK",
4 max( decode( name, 'mary', value, null ) ) "MARY"
5 from
6 (
7 select name, year, value
8 from t1
9 )
10 group by year ;
YEAR JOHN JACK MARY
1991 1000 1500 1250
1992 2000 1200 2323
1993 3000 1340 8700

Hope that helps.

Hello,
I know this is a very common question asked in the forum. I have searched regading this, i did find some threads, but i was not able to achieve what i require from the answers posted. So anybody please help me.

Converting columns to row

Hi,
I have 6 columns and 4 rows and i want to convert it into 6 rows and 4 columns and want to display in table control.
plz help me in this ....

Hi Kinjal,
   Question is not clear. You want to change the internal table values with 6 columns & 4 rows to 4 columns & 6 rows?
If my understanding is correct, check the bleow logic:
loop at itab1.
case sy-tabix.
when 1.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c1.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c2.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c3.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c4.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c5.
   append itab2.
   itab2-c1 = itab1-c6.
   append itab2.
when 2.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c1.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 1.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c2.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 2.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c3.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 3.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c4.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 4.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c5.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 5.
itab2-c2 = itab1-c6.
modify itab2 transporting c2 index 6.
when 3.
   itab2-c3 = itab1-c1.
modify itab2 transporting c3 index 1.
when 4.
   itab2-c4 = itab1-c1.
modify itab2 transporting c4 index 1.
Endloop.
Finally you will get 6 rows with 4 coulmns.

Converting columns into rows

Dear all....I need to convert all columns into rows in a table. For example table has following columns:
Emp_Cod........Val1......Val2......Val3
1 a b c
Now I wish that each column should display as a value like:
Emp_Cod........Val1
1 a
1 b
1 c
Now the one way to solve this job is to write a union statement for each column but for this I'll have to write equal number of select statements as there are columns.
What I need that is there anyway to write minimum code for this job, is there any alternate way???

SQL> with t as(select 1 emp_code, 'a' val1, 'b' val2, 'c' val3 from dual)
2 select*from t unpivot(v for c in(val1,val2,val3));
EMP_CODE C     V
        1 VAL1 a
        1 VAL2 b
        1 VAL3 c
SQL> col COLUMN_VALUE for a20
SQL> with t as(select 1 emp_code, 'a' val1, 'b' val2, 'c' val3 from dual)
2 select*from t,table(sys.odcivarchar2list(val1,val2,val3));
EMP_CODE V V V COLUMN_VALUE
        1 a b c a
        1 a b c b
        1 a b c c

Converting Column to Rows

Hello,
I am trying to build and SQL to convert columns from multiple rows to the all rows - see below test data and result expected:
CREATE TABLE XX_TEST(NAME VARCHAR2(10),A1 VARCHAR2(10),A2 VARCHAR2(10), A3 VARCHAR2(10),A4 VARCHAR2(10),A5 VARCHAR2(10));
INSERT INTO XX_TEST VALUES('LIST','A','B','C','D','E');
INSERT INTO XX_TEST VALUES('L1','1',NULL,'3',NULL,NULL);
INSERT INTO XX_TEST VALUES('L2','1','5','4',NULL,NULL);
COMMIT
SELECT * FROM XX_TEST;
Result expected:
NAME is Column from table XX_TEST but COLUMN and VALUE are the columns converted to rows-
NAME COLUMN VALUE
L1 A1 1
L1 A2 NULL
L1 A3 3
L1 A4 NULL
L1 A5 NULL
L2 A1 1
L2 A2 5
L2 A3 4
L2 A4 NULL
L2 A5 NULL
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting the sample data in such a useful form!
Whenever you post a question, you should always say what version of Oracle you're using, too.
Displaying multiple columns from one row as one column on multiple rows is called Unpivoting .
In Oracle 11, you can use the SELECT ... UNPIVOT feature to do that.
In any version of Oracle, you can cross-join your table to a Counter that has as many rows as your original table has columns to be unpivoted.
In this problem, we need a self-join of the unpivoted data, to join the rows with name='LIST' to every other row.
WITH     cntr     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL     <= 5
,     unpivoted_xx_test     AS
     SELECT     x.name
     ,     'A' || c.n     AS col
     ,     CASE c.n
               WHEN 1     THEN x.a1
               WHEN 2     THEN x.a2
               WHEN 3     THEN x.a3
               WHEN 4     THEN x.a4
               WHEN 5     THEN x.a5
          END          AS val
     FROM          cntr     c
     CROSS JOIN     xx_test     x
SELECT       u.name
,       u.col
,       l.val          AS val1
,       u.val          AS val2
FROM       unpivoted_xx_test     l
JOIN       unpivoted_xx_test     u ON     l.col     = u.col
WHERE       l.name     = 'LIST'
AND       u.name     != 'LIST'
ORDER BY name
,       col
;Output:
NAME       COL VAL1       VAL2
L1         A1 A          1
L1         A2 B
L1         A3 C          3
L1         A4 D
L1         A5 E
L2         A1 A          1
L2         A2 B          5
L2         A3 C          4
L2         A4 D
L2         A5 EThe query above uses some features that were new in Oracle 9, but the basic strategy will work in earlier versions.
If your columns don't have such regular names (A1, A2, A3, ...) then you can use another CASE expression to derive unpivoted_xx_test.col.

Itab1 with the structure PATH_ID | GROUP | LINE | ATRIBUTE | VALUE
Itab2 with structure PATH_ID | GROUP | LINE | ATRIBUTE | VALUE
Itab3 with the final structure PATH_ID | GROUP | LINE | Company Code | Account Code | Profit Centre
move itab1 to itab2.
sort itab2 by path_id group line.
delete adjacent duplicates from itab2 comparing path_id group line.
loop at itab2.
clear itab3.
move:

Hi,
Cross-join your table with a Counter Table , a table (or result set, as in the example below) that counts from 1 up to the number of columns you want to unpivot, like this:
WITH     cntr     AS
     SELECT     LEVEL     AS n
     FROM     dual
     CONNECT BY     LEVEL <= 3     -- Number of columns to be unpivoted
SELECT       s.bu_id
,       s.prod_id
,       CASE c.n
          WHEN 1 THEN 'total_clients'
          WHEN 2 THEN 'total_men'
          WHEN 3 THEN 'total_women'
       END          AS client_info
,       CASE c.n
          WHEN 1 THEN total_clients
          WHEN 2 THEN total_men
          WHEN 3 THEN total_women
       END          AS values
FROM            source_table s
CROSS JOIN     cntr           c
ORDER BY s.bu_id
,            s.prod_id
,       c.n
;If you'd care to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test this.
The values column that you create can only have 1 data type. If the original, unpivoted columns have different data types, you may need to convert some of them in the CASE expression that defines values.

Convert columns to rows by a select query

I have a table with 10 columns. Pk is combination of 3 columns, let us say A, B and C. I need a select query which returns 7 rows with four columns each let us say A,B,C and D where D contains the value of non PK column. i.e. for first row, D will contain value of fourth column of the table, for second row, D will contain fifth column of the table and so on.
Please help.

Maybe NOT TESTED!
