Formatting Returned Data To Multiple Columns?

Oct 9, 2014

I need to return a single column (Name.company) but I want the data returned to be viewed in multiple columns.

First is that possible? Second if so how?

My data looks like this:

University X
University X - 1
University X - 2
University X - 3
College X
College X - 1
College X - 2
College X - 3
Cmty College X
Cmty College X - 1

etc.

How can I get it to return only:

University X
College X
Cmty College X

Visual Formatting Of Data Returned From A SAP Database

Apr 3, 2014

I am working with extracting data from a SAP database, and I would like to perform some 'visual formatting' on the returned data. Because the SQL code that I am writing will be used in a custom Report it is not possible for me to use '3rd Party' formatting tools. Furthermore because the database is hosted on an MS SQL 2008 R2 RDBMS it is not possible to use the IIF() function.

Here is a sample of the data that I am getting back at the moment. URL...Here is how I would like the data to be returned (with the exception that the blue lines will ideally be blank cells). URL...

I have come to believe that I should be using the ROW_NUMBER() function, along with the OVER() function and possibly the 'partition by' keywords.Here is my original code -

Code:
select
td.ItemCode as 'Item Code'
, td.Dscription as 'Item Description', td.Quantity as 'Order Qty'
, titm.OnOrder as 'PO Qty'
, th.CardCode as 'BP Code', th.CardName as 'BP Name'
, th.DocNum as 'Sales Order Number'
, tsp.SlpName as 'Sales Person'
, twhs.WhsCode as 'Whs Code'
, isnull(tbloc.BINLABEL, '') as 'BIN Label', isnull(cast(tbloc.QUANTITY as nvarchar(20)), '') as 'BIN Qty'

code]...

Notice above that I only see the 'Seq' and no other data. How can I go about modifying this code so that I see all of the data columns I desire? If I further 'refine' the above, by adding case statements and the individual columns that I want to see (as opposed to using the * wildcard) I get a long list of error messages.

Preview Has Data But No Columns Returned

Oct 4, 2006

In my SSIS package, I connect to an external SQL server database. This external database supports a stored procedure that I need to execute to "retrieve data". So in my package, I set the DataAccess Mode property of my OLEDB datasource to "SQL Command" and I provide the command EXEC <proc_name> <Param>,<output_param>. (The proc has an output parameter). The preview shows all the columns and data, but somehow no columns are returned....so when I try to link this data source to a copy column task, I get an error saying the source does not have any columns...any idea why this could be happening. Thanks - Manmeet

Transact SQL :: Select And Parse Json Data From 2 Columns Into Multiple Columns In A Table?

Apr 29, 2015

I have a business need to create a report by query data from a MS SQL 2008 database and display the result to the users on a web page. The report initially has 6 columns of data and 2 out of 6 have JSON data so the users request to have those 2 JSON columns parse into 15 additional columns (first JSON column has 8 key/value pairs and the second JSON column has 7 key/value pairs). Here what I have done so far:

I found a table value function (fnSplitJson2) from this link [URL]. Using this function I can parse a column of JSON data into a table. So when I use the function above against the first column (with JSON data) in my query (with CROSS APPLY) I got the right data back the but I got 8 additional rows of each of the row in my table. The reason for this side effect is because the function returned a table of 8 row (8 key/value pairs) for each json string data that it parsed.

1. First question: How do I modify my current query (see below) so that for each row in my table i got back one row with 19 columns.

SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B

If updated my query (see below) and call the function twice within the CROSS APPLY clause I got this error: "The multi-part identifier "A.ITEM6" could be be bound.

2. My second question: How to i get around this error?

SELECT A.ITEM1,A.ITEM2,A.ITEM3,A.ITEM4, B.*, C.*
FROM PRODUCT A
CROSS APPLY fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM5,NULL) B,  fnSplitJson2(A.ITEM6,NULL) C

I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 version. Windows 7 desktop.

Obtaining Data To Be Displayed In Multiple Columns From Multiple Rows

Apr 23, 2008



Hello All,

I am rather new to reporting on SQL Server 2005 so please be patient with me.

I need to create a report that will generate system information for a server, the issue im having is that the table I am having to gather the information from seems to only allow me to pull off data from only one row.

For example,. Each row contains a different system part (I.e. RAM) this would be represented by an identifier (1), but I to list each system part as a column in a report

The table (System Info) looks like:-

ID | System part |
1 | RAM
2 | Disk Drive
10| CPU
11| CD ROM |

Which


So basically I need it to look like this.

Name | IP | RAM | Disk Drive|
----------------------------------------------
A | 127.0.0.1 | 512MB | Floppy

So Far my SQL code looks like this for 1 item
SELECT SYSTEM PART
FROM System Info
WHERE System.ID = 1

How would I go about displaying the other system parts as columns with info

Any help is much appreciated!

Data Returned From .WriteXML Is Different Than What Is Returned In Query Analyzer.

Jun 20, 2006

I have a strange problem. I have some code that executes a sql query. If I run the query in SQL server query analyzer, I get a set of data returned for me as expected. This is the query listed on lines 3 and 4. I just manually type it into query analyzer.
Yet when I run the same query in my code, the result set is slightly different because it is missing some data. I am confused as to what is going on here. Basically to examine the sql result set returned, I write it out to an XML file. (See line 16).
Why the data returned is different, I have no idea. Also writing it out to an XML file is the only way I can look at the data. Otherwise looking at it in the debugger is impossible, with the hundreds of tree nodes returned.
If someone is able to help me figure this out, I would appreciate it.
1. public DataSet GetMarketList(string region, string marketRegion)2. {3.   string sql = @"SELECT a.RealEstMarket FROM MarketMap a, RegionMap b " + 4."WHERE  a.RegionCode = b.RegionCode"; 5.   DataSet dsMarketList = new DataSet();6.   SqlConnection sqlConn = new SqlConnection(intranetConnStr);   7.   SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql,sqlConn);8.  sqlConn.Open();9.   SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 10.   try11.   {12.   adapter.Fill(dsMarketList);
 13.  String bling = adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText;//BRG 14.   dsMarketList.DataSetName="RegionMarket"; 15.  dsMarketList.Tables[0].TableName = "MarketList"; 16.    dsMarketList.WriteXml(Server.MapPath ("myXMLFile.xml" )); // The data written to  17. myXMLFile.xml is not the same data that is returned when I run the query on line 3&4 18.           // from the SQL query 19.  } 20.  catch(Exception e) 21. {  22. // Handle the exception (Code not shown)

SQL 2012 :: Split Data From Two Columns In One Table Into Multiple Columns Of Result Table

Jul 22, 2015

So I have been trying to get mySQL query to work for a large database that I have. I have (lets say) two tables Table_One and Table_Two. Table_One has three columns: Type, Animal and TestID and Table_Two has 2 columns Test_Name and Test_ID. Example with values is below:

**TABLE_ONE**
Type Animal TestID
-----------------------------------------
Mammal Goat 1
Fish Cod 1
Bird Chicken 1
Reptile Snake 1
Bird Crow 2
Mammal Cow 2
Bird Ostrich 3

**Table_Two**
Test_name TestID
-------------------------
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_1 1
Test_2 2
Test_2 2
Test_3 3

In Table_One all types come under one column and the values of all Types (Mammal, Fish, Bird, Reptile) come under another column (Animals). Table_One and Two can be linked by Test_ID

I am trying to create a table such as shown below:

Test_Name Bird Reptile Mammal Fish
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Test_1 Chicken Snake Goat Cod
Test_2 Crow Cow
Test_3 Ostrich

This should be my final table. The approach I am currently using is to make multiple instances of Table_One and using joins to form this final table. So the column Bird, Reptile, Mammal and Fish all come from a different copy of Table_one.

For e.g

Select
Test_Name AS 'Test_Name',
Table_Bird.Animal AS 'Birds',
Table_Mammal.Animal AS 'Mammal',
Table_Reptile.Animal AS 'Reptile,
Table_Fish.Animal AS 'Fish'
From Table_One

[Code] .....

The problem with this query is it only works when all entries for Birds, Mammals, Reptiles and Fish have some value. If one field is empty as for Test_Two or Test_Three, it doesn't return that record. I used Or instead of And in the WHERE clause but that didn't work as well.

Data Flow: Converting Data In Multiple Columns

Sep 28, 2006

Hi,

I'm just wondering what's the best approach in Data Flow to convert the following input file format:

Date, Code1, Value1, Code2, Value2

1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00, xyz3, 35.00

2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00, xyz5, 6.30

into the following output format (to be loaded into a SQL DB):

Date, Code, Value

1-Jan-2006, abc1, 20.00

1-Jan-2006, xyz3, 35.00

2-Jan-2006, abc1, 30.00

2-Jan-2006, xyz5, 6.30

I'm quite new to SSIS, so, I would appreciate detailed steps if possible. Thanks.

Data Spanning Onto Multiple Columns

Oct 22, 2007



I am creating a report that contains a table. The table only has one column containing 10 characters so there is a lot of wasted space on the page. I would like the columns to wrap to at least two columns on each page. I have tried to set the number of columns on the report properties to two, however it seems as if the second column is disabled and the data does not wrap into the second column when the report is run.

Any suggestions would be GREATFULLY appreciated!

Thank You

Formatting Columns In A View

Jun 29, 2007

I have a view that I created from 4 SQL tables in order to query data for a report. I can't change the format of columns in the original table but would like to format the columns in the view as a different data type.



The original table has the values formated as varchar, the info in the columns is numbers and I would like to have the values changed to decimal when the view is queried.



Is this even possible? Any help would be appreciated.

Parse Delimited Data In Column To Multiple Columns

Jun 13, 2008

I'm working on a sales commission report that will show commissions for up to 5 sales reps for each invoice. The invoice detail table contains separate columns for the commission rates payable to each rep, but for some reason the sale srep IDs are combined into one column. The salesrep column may contain null, a single sales rep id, or up to five slaes rep IDs separated by the '~' character.

So I'd like to parse the rep IDs from a single column (salesreplist) in my invoice detail table (below) to multiple columns (RepID1, RepID2, RepID3, RepID4,RepID5) in a temp table so I can more easily calculate the commission amounts for each invoice and sales rep.

Here is my table:

CREATE TABLE invcdtl(
invoicenum int,
salesreplist [text] NULL,
reprate1 int NULL,
reprate2 int NULL,
reprate3 int NULL,
reprate4 int NULL,
reprate5 int NULL,
)

Here is some sample data:

1 A 0 0 0 0 0
2 0 0 0 0 0
3 I~~~~ 15 0 0 0 0
4 A~B 5 5 0 0 0
5 I~F~T~K~G 5 5 2 2 2
6 A~B

As you can see, some records have trailing delimiters but some don't. This may be a result of the application's behavior when multiple reps are entered then removed from an invoice. One thing for sure is that when there are multiple reps, the IDs are always separated by '~'

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Dynamic Columns Returned

Sep 6, 2006

I need to write a query that will return an unknown number of columns. Here's the problem:

Let's say you've got a database tracking applications to different university study abroad programs. There may be a dozen or more programs, and the application could be used at any number of different schools, each with different programs. So you have a programs table with ProgramName and ProgramID.

Each program could require a different set things submitted during the application process. So you have a Submissions table, with SubmissionItem and SubmissionID to list the names of each required submission, a Program_Submissions table, with ProgramID and SubmissionID to link Programs to required application items, a SubmittedItems table, that accepts documents uploaded by a user to fullfill the submission requirements, and of course a users table.

I'm not very concerned at the moment about the last two tables. What I need to do is create a report (query) where the first column is the program name, and the other columns are determined by the contents of the Submissions table- if Program_Submissions record exists linking a program to a submission, place a value of 'Y' in that cell, otherwise leave it blank. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?

I need to do this in a single query that a I can dump into a report builder application to save as a template to give to several people that have been asking for it, and to complicate matters even more, the description above is a little simple, as there are couple different kinds of submissions, with a different table for each.

Any help appreciated. I give rep for good answers!

Extracting Data From Columns That Contain Multiple Values Spearated By A Comma

Nov 11, 2004

Hi all,

If I have a column in one table (contracts) that contains a set of values (codes that identify the fields contract code) like as follows...


Code:


Contracts table
--------------------------------
Concode - description
--------------------------------
KIDD - Kidderminster General
UNIV - University Hospitals



and then another table (controls) which has a column called contracts where the data within the 'Contracts' field is set out like the following (yes that is right, each of the data in this column are the Foreign Keys which are separated by '/' in which I need to query against the contracts table ) ...


Code:


controls table
--------------------------
Code - Contracts
--------------------------
BA - KIDD /UNIV /NWPCT



With the those tables and the columns like they are, how can I get my query to display the following information...


PHP Code:




---------------------------------------------------
Con(Controls table) - Description(contracts table)
---------------------------------------------------
             BA          - Kidderminster General
             BA          - University Hospitals
--------------------------------------------------- 






I'm guessing my first job is to somehow extract those Foreign Keys from the 'Contracts' column in the 'Control' table

Using A Match Table To Store Multiple Columns For Parent Data

Mar 1, 2008

Sorry for the confusing subject. Here's what im doing:I have a table of products. Products have N categories andsubcategories. Right now its 4. But there could be more down theline so it needs to be extensible.So ive created a product table. Then a category table that has manycategories of products, of which a product can belong to N number ofthese categories. Finally a ProductCategory "match" table.This is pretty straigth forward. But im getting confused as to how towrite views/sprocs to pull out rows of products that list all theproducts categories as columns in a single query view.For example:lets say productId 1 is Cap'n Crunch cereal. It is in 3 categories:Cereal, Food for Kids, Crunchy food, and Boxed.So we have:Product----------------1 Capn CrunchCategories-----------------1 Cereal2 Food for Kids3 Crunchy food4 BoxedProductCategories------------------1 11 21 31 4How do I go about writing a query that returns a single result set fora view or data set (for use in a GridView control) where I would havethe following result:Product results---------------------------------ProductId ProductName Category 1 Category 2Category 3 Category N ...------------------------------------------------------------------------1 Capn Crunch Cereal Food for Kids Crunchy foodBoxedAm I just thinking about this all wrong?

Reporting Services :: Pivot A Table Of Data With Multiple Columns?

Nov 20, 2015

Running SQL Server 2005, trying to develop an SSRS report to basically pivot a table of data with multiple columns.

Here's the basic source table:

Day    Cases   Referrals    Vends
1         291          0             0
2         293          1             0
3         293          1             1

And I want to display it as:

Day             1       2       3
Cases         291   293   293
Referrals       0        1      1
Vends           0        0      1

I thought I could use a matrix for this but I can't seem to get it worked out. Is this even possible?

The Day number is meant to represent the day of the month and the user would input a start and ending date parameter.

Data Flow Task - Multiple Columns From Different Sources To A Single Table

Dec 19, 2006

Hi:


I have a data flow task in which there is a OLEDB source, derived column item, and a oledb destination. My source is a SQL command, that returns some values. I have some values, that I define in the derived columns, and set default values under the expression column. My question is, I also have some destination columns which in my OLEDB destination need another SQL command. How would I do that? Can I attach two or more OLEDB sources to one destination? How would I accomplish that? Thanks

SQL 2012 :: SSRS - Force Report To Use Columns Returned From Stored Procedure?

Jul 10, 2015

(Headers)Total,WV1,WV2,WV3,WV4,WV5.....
(Example data) "Some total name",1,2,3,4,5.....

The WV1, WV2, WV3 column names will be different depending on parameters passed to the stored procedure. In other words, the column names or number of columns aren't fixed (apart from "Total").

What I would like to be able to do is to just force SSRS to use the column headers supplied by the stored procedure as the column names in the report.

Order Of Rows And Columns Returned When Reading With Excel ODBC Driver

Jun 19, 2007

Hi,



I'm reading values from a named range within an Excel spreadsheet using the Excel ODBC driver. If I ask for all columns within a range, using e.g. select * from 'named range', does the driver ensure that the returned rowset has the same column and row ordering as in the spreadsheet? In other words, if a named range on a spreadsheet is the block of cells:



name age

richard 54

jemima 27



I want to make sure that my returned rowset is not going to be:



age name

jemima 27

richard 54



I know that proper databases do not guarantee the order of returned values (unless you specify it) but since Excel is a fixed view of data I was hoping that a returned rowset of values would retain their spreadsheet ordering.



Thanks,

[Code] ....

This works very well, but I want to concatenate more rows with different [PersonType]-Values in different columns and I don't like the overhead, of using the same table in every subquery ([Person_1]). Is there a more elegant way to do this, without using a temp table or something else?

Multiple Columns With Different Values OR Single Column With Multiple Criteria?

Aug 22, 2007

Hi,

I have multiple columns in a Single Table and i want to search values in different columns. My table structure is

col1 (identity PK)
col2 (varchar(max))
col3 (varchar(max))

I have created a single FULLTEXT on col2 & col3.
suppose i want to search col2='engine' and col3='toyota' i write query as

SELECT

TBL.col2,TBL.col3
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col2,'engine') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col3,'toyota') TBL2
ON

TBL.col1=TBL2.[key]

Every thing works well if database is small. But now i have 20 million records in my database. Taking an exmaple there are 5million record with col2='engine' and only 1 record with col3='toyota', it take substantial time to find 1 record.

I was thinking this i can address this issue if i merge both columns in a Single column, but i cannot figure out what format i save it in single column that i can use query to extract correct information.
for e.g.;
i was thinking to concatinate both fields like
col4= ABengineBA + ABBToyotaBBA
and in search i use
SELECT

TBL.col4
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABBToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]
Result = 1 row

But it don't work in following scenario
col4= ABengineBA + ABBCorola ToyotaBBA

SELECT

TBL.col4
FROM

TBL
INNER JOIN

CONTAINSTABLE(TBL,col4,' "ABengineBA" AND "ABB*ToyotaBBA"') TBL1
ON

TBL.col1=TBL1.[key]

Result=0 Row
Any idea how i can write second query to get result?
