Three Columns into One?

I have a list of about 1000 items. Currently they are in three columns. Is there an more automated way of making one single column rather than doing this manually with the return/enter button and arrow keys?
(Using Pages Ver 1.0.2)

I presume you have three columns made by tabbing.
Yes.
Use the Find dialog and search for a tab, replace
with just a return...
TIP: show invisibles and select the tab and or
return symbols so you can paste into the seach(find)
dialog.
How do you mean show invisibles? I set the whole OS to show invisible files. That doesn't affect Pages. How can I copy tab and return symbols?

Concatenate multiple columns into one string

Hello,
I am using Oracle 11.2, how can I concatenate the value of multiple columns into one string with one SQL:
create table testTb(classId number(5), classRoom varchar2(32));
insert into testTb value(101, 'room101');
insert into testTb value(101, 'room201');
insert into testTb value(101, 'room301');
insert into testTb value(202, 'room444');
insert into testTb value(202, 'room555');
I would like to generate the result as followings:
Class 101 is in room101, room201, room301
Class 202 is in room444, room555
Thanks,

Hi,
Since you're using Oracle 11.2, you can use the aggregate LISTAGG function:
SELECT       'Class ' || classid
               || ' is in '
             || LISTAGG ( classroom
                     ) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY classroom)
               AS txt
FROM       testtb
GROUP BY classid
;The generic name for concatenating all the strings in a group is String Aggregation . This page shows several ways to do it, suitable for different versions of Oracle.

Converting multiple columns into one.

All,
I have a requirement to convert multiple columns into one. Following is the pseudo code of current implementation. It unions the various columns ( col1, col2........) into a new column new_col. But perforamnce is extrmely slow owing to multiple unions. It may be noted that tables and where conditions of all these queries are same.
Can you help me create a more efficient query?
select col1 , col2, col3, col4 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition;Below is the query used to convert these columns into one.
select col1 new_col from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col2 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col3 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col4 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition

Without looking at those things you could be barking up the wrong tree by assuming the issue relates to the unioning of queries or other such things.Well, might be.........
Execution time of this query (just the execution time not the retrival) is around 34 seconds with connect-by clause for returning 22,000 records.

Consolidating three rows into one

Hello,
I am struggling to figure this out and my googling hasn't quite led me to what I need. I have found some ideas such as sys_connect_by_path but I want to convert my three rows into columns (using one row), not concatenate them. I can not quite find the right thing or work it out. The code below gives me the columns I want but I can not figure out how to consolidate it onto one row. When I uncomment the group by line it doesn't like it as the role and emp fields are not group expressions. The values I wish to pivot are strings and not numbers (role).
Would anybody be kind enough to help?? my brain has frozen!! :D
Thanks very much

Need to concatonate multiple values for same key columns into one string

Hi...I'm attempting to use PL/SQL to read through a table containing more than one column value for a set of keys, and concatonate those values together into one string. For example, in the STUDENT table, for a STUDENT_ID there are multiple MAJORS_ACCOMPLISHED such as History, Biology and Mathematics. Each of the majors is stored in a different row with the same STUDENT_ID due to different faculty DEPARTMENT values.
I want to read through the table and write out a single row for the STUDENT_ID and
concatonate the values for MAJORS_ACCOMPLISHED. The next row should be another STUDENT_ID and the MAJORS ACCOMPLISHED for that student..etc.
I've hit a wall trying to use cursors and WHILE loops to get the results I want. I'm hoping someone may have run across this before and have a suggestion. Tks!!

I think you are looking for string aggregation.
The following are the replies posted by me in the forum recently on the same case.

Compare three columns within one table. Help!

Hi All
I had a post up about this yesterday but I didnt have much luck and im still really stuck on this so if there is anyone who has any idea please help me.
I have three columns A,B,C within the one table. Column A may contain a value that is in Column B so if this is the case I need to enusre that it is not brought back in the query. I have tried using a minus function but it is not working very well. Probably because i am doing it wrong.
So basically I need the query to
Compare
(A) Column A with Column B - If a value is present in column B I want to minus it/remove it from Column B
(B) Column A with Column C - If a value is present in column C I want to minus it/remove it from Column B
(C) Column B with Column C - If a value is present in column C I want to minus it/remove it from Column B
OUTPUT AT PRESENT
COL A COLB COLC
12345 45666 78888
45666 78888 66666
66662 12345 37891
Desired Output
COL A COLB COLC
-------- 45666 78888
-------- -------- 66666
66662 12345 37891
Any help with this would be really appreciated

How to aggregate columns into one in a bar chart

Hello.
Maybe the title of my question is not clear (i suspect as much) but here is my situation:
I have a MDX dataset with this data
Project, Turnover
A,100
B,120
C,50
D,20
Plotting this in a Chart produces the correct result: it gives me a chart with 4 columns.
What i want however is to add all these values into one column and have the chart show only one as i will be adding more data series (via lookUp) that will show additional related data.
Can this be achieved?

Hi SergioJN,
Based on my understanding, you want to create a bar chart. In the chart, multiple series are stacked on a column. Within the same category, you want to use Lookup() function to add related values of those series, then make these values stack on the second
column. In your scenario, two columns exist within one category, and for each column, values of multiple series are stacked, right?
In Reporting Service, when adding multiple values(in your scenario, it would be Project) to series and these values are grouped by one category, multiple values are stacked vertically on a column within one category. If these values are not grouped by the
same category, it’s unable to make multiple series stack vertically on a column. If we add other related values in Values, these values will stack vertically on the original column based on series. So your requirement can’t be completely achieved currently.
As we tested in our environment, within the same category, the related values will be stacked horizontally on the original values of each series within a bar. Please refer to screenshots below:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

columns, Well I can do this by using union.
But my output should be like
if I select by condition where A=2
my output should be
2
1
3
7
4
because all these numbers are linked with 2 how do i do this
because it is like searching the number 2 in two columns and wherever this number 2 is linked i should get all the data relevant to it.
Hope u got my point what i exactly want
Can anyone help me it is quite urgent.

Issue while mapping two entity column into one entity column

Not able to succeed with when trying to join 2 entity columns to an entity.
Entity A Id, AName, ADesc, AQty
Entity B Id, AName, BQty
Entity C Id, AName, CQty
Mapping Entity A to Entity B & Entity C with column reference, not able to succeed with two joins.
EntityA
@OneToMany
@Column(name = "ANAME")
private List<EntityB> bName = new ArrayList();
private List<EntityC> cName = new ArrayList();
EntityB
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "ANAME")
private EntityA enitityA;
EntityC
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "ANAME")
private EntityA enitityA;
Join work only for EntityB, not for EntityC...
Please, give me your suggestions.

A few issues:
- You need the @OneToMany on both fields, not just the first one
- A @OneToMany cannot use an @Column, it should use a mappedBy="entityA"

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
You have a list box with 100 columns in it?!! That's a very unusual setup. Why? And why do you need to get multiple columns from it into a single text box? It seems so strange, maybe you're going about something the wrong way.
To answer the question itself, you can concatenate multiple columns from a list box in the controlsource of a text box, but you have to itemize the columns. As for example this ControlSource property for the text box:
=[ListProduct].[Column](55) & "," & [ListProduct].[Column](95) & "," & [ListProduct].[Column](96) & "," & [ListProduct].[Column](97) & "," & [ListProduct].[Column](98)
& "," & [ListProduct].[Column](99) & "," & [ListProduct].[Column](100) & "," & [ListProduct].[Column](101)
That may be too long to fit in the ControlSource property; I'm not sure.
Or you could write a VBA function that concatenates the desired columns, and use that in a function expression for your text box.

I need to combine two Excel columns into one.

Specifically I've exported a .csv file from another web app and it has First Names and Last Names in separate columns. I need them combined into a single column which includes both first and last names. I can't seem to remember how to get it come without the delimiter. I've already had to specify which columns to "skip" and other things in the dialogue box brought up when I "Get external data." Any way to do this cleanly?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Easiest way, when already in Excel, is to use the CONCANTENATE function in a new column that will then have the combined text of the separate columns...
For example column A has the first name and column B has the last name...
use the following formula in any empty column cell: =CONCANTENATE(A1, " ", B1)
(note added the literal space surrounded by quotes as thats how you would normally see the names.
then you select and copy the formula of the cell (Cmd-C), then select/highlight the rest of the column and paste (Cmd-V) and you're done.

Putting Three Cells into one Table Cell but with Three rows of data?

How do I do this.
I see no way to increment the indexPath row.
I have data grouped by category and I want to show three items per line.
Is there an example or such on how to increment the indexpath
thanks

One way to think about this problem is by filtering. You can create 'Booked Gig Tracking' and 'Try Again 2009' tables that are merely copies of the main table (with columns omitted as desired). These two tables would be populated with simple formulas like =MainTable :: Name in the Name column and =MainTable :: Address in the Address column. Make sure to copy the appropriate check column as well. Then each of these two tables can be filter to show only the items that are checked.
This is a pretty sketchy description of the idea. If you need something more detailed, ask.
