Using Pivot Transformations!!!
Jan 10, 2008
I want to change the rows of the following table to columns to avoid repeatability:
Manufacturer
AOpen
Model
s661FXm s661FXm Intel P4
System Type
Motherboard
Standard Memory
N/A
Maximum Memory
2 GB
Sockets
2
Slots/Banks
2
Manufacturer
HP/COMPAQ
Model
Presario SR1917FR AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.06 GHz
System Type
Desktop
Standard Memory
1024 (1024MB x1 Removable)
Maximum Memory
4 GB
Sockets
4
Slots/Banks
4
Can this be done using Pivot Transformations? If yes then which column will have pivotusage and which will have pivotkeyvalue. I am getting a little confused here.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Hi, i'm trying to port a pivot query from access to sqlserver.
I'm trying this query:
SELECT IDMerce, [1] AS [Department-1], [2] AS [Department-2], [3] AS
[Department-3], [4] AS [Department-4]
FROM (SELECT IDMerce, Pezzi, IDMagazzino
FROM Disponibilita) p PIVOT (sum(Pezzi) FOR
IDMagazzino IN ([1], [2], [3], [4])) AS pvt
this works, but in my case i don't know in advance how many transformations
i need, so there is a solution?
Thanks

Right, so I'm currently trudging through the SQL video tutorials and such, so it may be that I get to this sooner or later, but as I'm under a deadline, I thought I'd post this question beforehand so I can use that info with what I'm learning now. Here's my situation: I have a ASP.NET 2.0 site in which I currently use XML files to display the text on the page, and I transform that text using an XSL stylesheet. I want to move that data to a database, but I'm not sure what is the best way to do that. Basically what I'm most concerned with is storing the main text (paragraphs with embedded hyperlinks). Currently, I can get the XSL to pick out the links and transform them from simply XML data to live links when they display on the page, but would I be able to do the same if I were pulling these paragraphs out of a database? Or should I just store the XML data in the database, and still pull that out so I can transform it appropriately with the XSL sheet I already have? (For that matter, can I dynamically write XML content to a database? Or am I just better off keeping my XML files?) What's the best approach for something like this?Thanks for the help!

I am importing four large flat files and have some formatting issues with dates. I've figured out how to process the dates within a package exactly the way I desire. Unfortunately, the process has several steps that I don't want to have to repeat for each date field. Is it possible to call a reusable sequence of transformations that take parameters and have a return value? Is there any other way to achieve similiar results?

Hi all,
In my DataFlow i set the "OLEDB Source" which is a table in my Extract Server and need to do some transformations and stage the table which will be a Dimension in the staging DB,
Q1-Now i need only 3 columns from the Source table, which transformation do i need to use to just extract the the 3 columns?
Q2- Two Columns of 3,which i will need to transform as it is-no changes at all and One of the column which has values like "BOSTON...."
(I have a vague idea of what i need to do,need something solid suggestions/advices to kickoff,plan is to use this city column with a Replace function (as one of the forum member's Spirit1 adviced..thanks..!!))to take out the dots and then need to write a condition if BOSTON then Assign Code "BOS" which will be City_Code and this "City_Code" will have to be looked in City_Dimension to get the "City_Key_Number" for "Boston" and lastly the City_Code and City Key Number both have to be transformed to the destination Dimension.
Any ideas /suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance...!!

Hi
I have a dts that is creating a table with not a fixed number of columns. The number of colums depend on a couple of factors based on the data that I'm pulling from other tables.
After some processing I need to dump all the data in the "dynamic" table into an excel doc. My problem is with the transformations within the transform data task. I don't know how many fields I will have in my table and this needs to be mapped to columns within the excel doc. Is it possible to programmatically define the transformations within an activeX script or what can I do.
Thanks
Johnnie

The following statement is from Microsoft documentation:
If you use the ExclusionGroup property to specify that rows should only go to one or another of a group of outputs, as in the Conditional Split transformation, you must call the DirectRow method to select the appropriate destination for each row. When you have an error output, you must call DirectErrorRow to send rows with problems to the error output instead of the default output.
I have a question about this because I have never used the "ExclusionGroup" property. For example, I have a script component where I specify 4 separate outputs, because I am sending different groups of rows to each output. I accomplish this programmatically using a lot of conditionals and it works fine.
I did not have to use the "ExclusionGroup" property to do this. So I'm not sure why I would ever need this, or to use DirectRow? I'm trying to understand this better, because maybe I feel like I'm not understanding the DirectRow, or how/when to use it.
Thanks

I am using SQL 2005 SSIS. I need to do a data conversion for a date field in a txt file. I used the import wizard to bring my txt file into SQL 2005 but didn't convert the date. The date is displayed in the flat file as 20070612. Can someone help me convert the date. I did add an OLE DB Source to the Data Flow screen and selected command what do I do next and what do I write?

I have a column which uses a DEFAULT as GETDATE in one of my tables. When I execute a DTS package to insert data into it, the column values are all the same, but if I use SSIS, the dates differ slightly (by a few ticks after several rows, but not a consistent amount of rows).
Is there an explanation for this difference, and how can I correct this problem?

In good old fashioned DTS there was the ability to perform custom transformations using activeX / vbscripty type language - does this still exist or are we stuck with the derived column editor?

Hello all.I am trying to write a query that "just" switches some data around soit is shown in a slightly different format. I am already able to dowhat I want in Oracle 8i, but I am having trouble making it work inSQL Server 2000. I am not a database newbie, but I can't seem tofigure this one out so I am turning to the newsgroup. I am thinkingthat some of the SQL Gurus out there have done this very thing athousand times before and the answer will be obvious to them.This message is pretty long but hopefully gives you enough informationto replicate the issue.There are 3 tables involved in my scenario. Potentially a lot more inthe real application, but I'm trying to keep this example as simple aspossible.In my database I have many "things". Let's call them "User Records"(table: users) for this example. My app allows the customer to createany number of custom "Extra Fields" (XF's) for a given User Record.The Extra Field definitions are stored in a table which we can callattribs. The actual XF values for a given user record are stored in athird table, let's call it users_attribs.users_attribs will look something like this (actual DDL below.)UserID | ExtraFieldID | Value--------------------------------------User_1 | XF_1 | hamUser_1 | XF_2 | eggsUser_2 | XF_1 | baconUser_2 | XF_2 | cheeseUser_3 | XF_2 | onionsThe end result is that I want a SQL query that returns something likethis:UserID | XF_1 | XF_2-------------------------------------User_1 | ham | eggsUser_2 | bacon | cheeseUser_3 | NULL | onionsPotentially there would be one column for each extra field definition.One interesting question is how to get a dynamic number of columns toshow up in results, (so new XF's show up automatically) but I'm notworried about that for now. Assume I will hard-code a specific set ofextra fields into my query.The key here is that all users must show up in the final result EVENIF they don't have some extra field value defined. Since User_3 inthe example above doesn't have an XF_1 record, we see a NULL in thatcolumn in the final result.With Oracle I am able to accomplish this via an Outer Join, and I knowSQL Server supports Outer Joins, but I can't seem to make it work. Inever version I have tried so far, if any user is missing any extrafield value, the entire row for the user goes "missing", and that ismy problem.It seems like one possible solution would be to just go ahead andpopulate the users_attribs table with a NULL value for thatcombination of user ID and extra field ID, basically adding a new rowlike this:UserID | ExtraFieldID | Value--------------------------------------User_3 | XF_1 | NULLI would like to avoid that if possible, for a number of reasons,particularly the question of *when* that NULL would be added. I don'twant my report to touch the database and add stuff at reporting timeif at all possible. In Oracle, I seemingly don't have to, and I wantto get to that point on SQL Server.So, here is some specific DDL to recreate this scenario:CREATE TABLE users (user_id varchar(60), username varchar(60));-- Extra Field (attribs) definitionsCREATE TABLE attribs (xf_id varchar(60), xf_name varchar(60));-- Extra Field values for UsersCREATE TABLE users_attribs (user_id varchar(60), xf_id varchar(60),val varchar(60));-- populate the sample tables-- sample User recsINSERT INTO users VALUES ('U_1', 'John Smith');INSERT INTO users VALUES ('U_2', 'Mary Rogers');-- sample extra field definitionsINSERT INTO attribs VALUES ('XF_1', 'Extra Field 1');INSERT INTO attribs VALUES ('XF_2', 'Extra Field 2');INSERT INTO attribs VALUES ('XF_3', 'Extra Field 3');-- sample values for User Extra Fields (XF's)-- U_1 ("John Smith") has complete values for each XFINSERT INTO users_attribs VALUES ('U_1', 'XF_1', 'XF_1 value forU_1');INSERT INTO users_attribs VALUES ('U_1', 'XF_2', 'XF_2 value forU_1');INSERT INTO users_attribs VALUES ('U_1', 'XF_3', 'XF_3 value forU_1');-- U_2 ("Mary Rogers") only has one value, missing the other two..INSERT INTO users_attribs VALUES ('U_2', 'XF_2', 'XF_2 value forU_2');Now, I can get what I want on Oracle, provided that I define an newview that joins the three tables together, then do a separate query onthat view that does an outer join. I could dispense with the view,but I don't want to hard-code the XF ID's into the query. I am finewith hardcoding the XF names, though. (Long story.)-- Create a User Extra Field view that joins Users-- extra field definitons (attribs)-- and values (users_attribs.)CREATE VIEW u_xf_view ASSELECT u.user_id, at.xf_name, uxf.valFROMusers u,attribs at,users_attribs uxfWHEREuxf.user_id = u.user_id ANDuxf.xf_id = at.xf_id-- Oracle-only outer join syntax works if you use the view:SELECTu.username as "User Name",uxf1.val as "Extra Field 1 Value",uxf2.val as "Extra Field 2 Value",uxf3.val as "Extra Field 3 Value"FROMusers t,u_xf_view uxf1,u_xf_view uxf2,u_xf_view uxf3WHEREuxf1.user_id(+) = t.user_id ANDuxf1.xf_name(+) = 'Extra Field 1' ANDuxf2.user_id(+) = t.user_id ANDuxf2.xf_name(+) = 'Extra Field 2' ANDuxf3.user_id(+) = t.user_id ANDuxf3.xf_name(+) = 'Extra Field 3';-- RESULTS (correct):User Name Extra Field 1 Value Extra Field 2 Value ExtraField 3 Value------------- ------------------------ ------------------------------------------------John Smith XF_1 value for U_1 XF_2 value for U_1 XF_3value for U_1Mary Rogers NULL XF_2 value for U_2 NULL2 Row(s)So far I have not been able to get the equivalent result in SQLServer. Like I said, I am really hoping to avoid populating thoseNULL values. Can anything think of a way to replicate Oracle'sbehavior here? I have tried a number of variations on the ANSI joinsyntax instead of Oracle's (+) operator, but everything I tried so farhas only yielded a row when ALL extra fields are populated (or evenworse behavior.)I greatly appreciate any assitance you may be able to give. I would behappy to provide any additional information if I forgot to mentionsomething important. I apologize in advance for any broken / wrappedlines. Thank you for taking the time to read this.I'm going to be out of town for the next week or so, so I won't checkfor a response until then, but as soon as I get back home I will checkback in the newsgroup.Thank you!!Preston Landerspibble (at) yahoo (dot) com

We receive thousands of files every week from various clients and we attempt to clean the columns using the same technique over and over so the data is consistent. The problem is I dont see a way to reuse complex column transformations in different packages. I would hate to have to go change every package if we change the rules for cleaning a column.
So #1: Can you create some kind of script or .net function that cleans a column and reuse it in multiple packages (or even in the same package)?
#2: Is it possible to call functions from the Derived Column expression builder?
Thanks!

I have two data tables:
1) Production data with column headers: Key, Facility, Line, Time, Output
2) Costs data with column headers: Key, Site, Cost Center, Time, Cost
The tables have a common key named obviously as Key. The data looks like this:
Key
Facility
Line
Time
Output
Alpha
I would like to have two pivot tables which I can filter with ONE slicer based on the column Key. The first pivot table shows row labels Facility, Line and column labels Time. Value field is Output. The second pivot table shows row labels Site, Cost Center, and column lables Time. Value field is Cost.How can I do this with Power Pivot? I tried by linking both tables above to a table with unique Keys in PowerPivot and then creating a PivotTable where I would have used the Key from the Keys table.

I have a simple pivot table (screenshot below) that has two variables on it: one for entry year and another for 6 month time intervals. I have very simple DAX functions that count rows to determine the population N (denominator), the number of records in the time intervals (numerator) and the simple percent of those two numbers.
The problem that I am having is that the function for the population N is not overriding the time interval on the pivot table when I use an ALL function to do so. I use ALL in other very simple pivot tables to do the same thing and it works fine.
The formula for all three are below, but the one that is the issue is the population N formula. Why ALL would not work, any other way to override the time period variable on the pivot table.
Population N (denominator):
=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist),ALL(analyticJudConsist[CurrentTimeInCare1]))
Records in time interval (numerator):
=COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist)
Percent:
=[countrows]/[denominatorCare]

How can I apply "Min" formula under a "new measure" (calculated field) within a pivot table under Power pivot 2010?Can see that neither does it allow me to apply "min" formula directly "formula box" nor could find any other option.Intent formula: "=Min(1,sum(a:b))" this isn't allowed so all I can do is "=sum(a:b)".

I have simple pivot table (below screenshot with info redacted) that displays a population number ("N" below), this is the denominator, a cumulative numerator number (below "#") and a simple cumulative percent that just divides the numerator by the denominator. It cumulates from top to bottom. The numerator and percent are cumulative using the below functions. There are two problems with the numerator and percent:
1. When there is not a number for the numerator, there is no value displayed for both the numerator and the percent..There should be a zero displayed for both values.
2. When there has been a prior number for the numerator and percent (for a prior month interval) but there is no number for the numerator in the current month interval, the prior month number and percent are not displayed in the current month interval--see the 3rd yellow line, this should display "3" and "16.7%" from the second yellow line.Here is the formula for the numerator:
=CALCULATE(count(s1Perm1[entity_id]),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
Here is the formula for the percent:
=(CALCULATE(countrows(s1Perm1),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))))/(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(s1Perm1),ALL(s1Perm1[Exit],s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))

I am at my wits end here. For Replication the Books Online clearly state:
"The option to allow transformations is set at the time you create a publication"
However, I cannot find any options that allow me to do this in the Create Publication Wizard.
Once the Publication has been created I see in the Properties in the Subscription Options tab that "Use DTS to transform data before distributing it to a Subscriber" is set to No and there is no way to change it.
Where am I going wrong?

In SQL 7 DTS I'm creating a Data Driven Query Tasks. When I get to writing the transformations in VB Script and try using the Test button to test the script, I get the following message:
Error Source: Microsoft Data Transformation Services Flat File Rowset
Provider
Error opening datafile. The system cannot find the file specified.
The documentation says:
[The transformation is tested] by executing it against a part of the
source data and copying the results to a temporary text file, for
preview purposes.
I can find no place to specify what temporary file is used for the test result and, because it is temporary, have assumed the system creates and
deletes it as needed.
Is this true?
I get this test error for every transformation. even those that work correctly when the DTS package is actually executed.
What can I do to get the transformations to test properly?
Any help or hints will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I created a slowly changing dimension object and used an OLE DB Source object with a SQL Command to feed it. After all the SCD objects are created, I get a warning about a truncation which might happen.
I adjust the source query with the right converts, so the query uses data types and lengths which match the target table. I update the OLE DB Source with the new query. Column names are unchanged.
Now how do I get this data flow to reflect the new column lengths? Do I have to throw away all objects and recreate the SCD? The refresh button in the SCD object doesn't do it. This is also a problem when adding columns to your dimension table. Because I modify the stuff that the SCD generates, it's VERY teadious to always have to throw it all away and start over again.
Thnx. Jeroen.

Hi,
I saw some thing called custom properties for the "Derived transformation" in the msdn site. I tried to use them in a simple package, but I am getting an error as "can't write to derivedoutputcolumnname.friendlyexpression". Friendly expression is one of the custom properties available for the derived transformation output columns.
The steps I followed to get to this error are as follows:
1) Get data from a table using OLEDB Source. Suppose I am getting firstName, LastName etc.
2) Derived column input is values from the above OLEDB Source.
3) I have added a new column called "Concatenated name" which is concatenated value of first and last names.
4) Then in the properties editor of this data flow task in expressions option I clicked on ellipse available. I got an editor for property expression, which contained two columns called "Property" and "Expression". Property column contains dropdown with friendly expressions propety for the derived columns and expression column is a text box, where in we can enter expression to be evaluated for the corresponding friendly expression property.
5) Now when I click on OK and try to debug it gives an error as "Can't write to concatenatedname.friendlyexpresiion".
If anybody has already faced this problem and solved it please let me know, because I am struck here a long time.
Thanks&Regards,

Hi Folks,
I'm currently looking into SSIS, to establish whether or not it can improve on an existing stored procedure.
We have a sp that performs standard ELT functions: it extracts new (or newly updated) data out of A, transforms it, and then loads it into B. It runs as part of a scheduled job and takes approx 60 seconds to complete. Fine. But we want it to go faster, and this is where (we hope) SSIS comes in...
I'm approaching this area of SQL Server 2005 for the first time, and have been looking towards the data flow task and its transformations to provide such an equivalent, faster solution. Before I continue down this road however, I would welcome some peer feedback/comment on whether SSIS - and its data flow transformations - are indeed the best tools to leverage when looking to accomplish such an ELT function, and quickly.
I guess the fundamental question here is: 'Why transforms over script?' I am reading Brian Knight's book, and I'd like to quote a few passages:
'...the nicest thing about transforms in SSIS is that it is all done in-memory and it no longer requires elaborate scripting as in SQL Server 2000 DTS...'
I guess this means that it doesn't need to be complied/interpreted, which I suppose all DML does?
'...one of the overriding themes of SSIS is that you shouldn't have to write any code to create your transformation...'
Is this because writing code is considered a more complex task than creating + configuring a transformation, or is it (at least in part) because a transformation is necessarily going to be quicker than its DML equivalent?
Hope some of you guys can respond with some interesting thoughts.
Cheers,
Tamim Sadikali.

Hi, hope someone can help or point me down the right track.
I have to load 50+ tables (all have different file layouts) using a data reader (The source only allows an OBDC connection) into a SQL Server 2005 databases, rather than create 50+ ETL packages that will be identical in process terms is it possible to create a single package that will dynamically re-map the source destination joins. I know I can set the Source and Destination using expressions however how do I ensure that the mappings are updated and for the errors can I automate so that they re-direct? Is this possible using a script task? Or by some other means?
Many thanks for any help

Greetings SSIS friends,
I have been attempting to implement one of our numerous ETL processes in SSIS but hit a brick wall when I tried replacing a complex stored procedure with a series of Merge Join components.
In the end, I had to settle with using a SQL task which merely calls the stored procedure and this proved to be the better option as the other version where I used SSIS components only took forever to run.
How do people cope with complex transformations?! Do you guys opt for pure TSQL to perform complex transformations and use SSIS components for control flow+simple(ish) data flow tasks?
I am confused.

I've read that SSIS tries to do all transformations in memory as a way of enhancing processing speed. What happens though if the amount of data processed exceeds the available RAM? Are raw files then used (similar to staging tables) or is an error generated?

I have data in my Powerpivot window which was generated by a sql query. This data includes a field named 'Cost' and every row shows a value for 'Cost' greater than zero. The problem is that when I display this data in the pivot table all entries for Cost display as $0. At first I thought that maybe Cost was set to a bogus data type (such as 'text) but it is set to ''Decimal Number' so that's not the problem.Â
What is happening and how do I fix it so that my pivot table reflects the values for 'Cost'?

Â I need a column that shows that variance between those columns. Â I think my issue is that the "Type" field contains actual and Budget. Â I sum on "Type". Â I can't seem to create a sum since those items are in the same field or am I missing something?
Table design
Month|Division|Subdivision|Type|Dept|Rate|Units|Amount
October|DC|Day|Budget|125|10.00|100|1000
October|DC|Day|Actual|125|10.00|110|1100
Output Design

How to get a list of values to actually display in correct order in either a slicer or when on an axis on a pivot table?
I currently have the below list and have tried to add a preceding numeric (ex. "1. <=0") or preceding blank space, neither of which is visually great. Is there another way?
<= 0
1 - 6
7 - 12
13 - 18
19 - 24
25 - 30
31 - 36
37 - 42
43 - 48
49 - 54
55 - 60
61 - 66
67 - 72
73 - 78
79 - 84
85 - 90
91 - 96
97 - 102
> 102

I am using excel 2010 and creating pivot table from Power Pivot. I created a pivot table with department slicers. All is good, the problem I am having is whilst in an unfiltered position (ALL) of the slicers (departments) I get 200 pages, now when I click on a given department with say 10 pages, I still get the same 200 pages with the first 10 pages showing the data from the clicked department and 190 blank pages.
All I want is to get a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) of what is on the screen as my print, but I am getting extra blank pages right after the data. Â How do I resolve this.
Below are the steps I go thru to printÂ
1. Select slicers in unfiltered position (ALL)
2. Select entire pivot table
3. Select Page layout and select print area.
4. Save
5. Click on Print Preview to preview the print
6. Click on a given department in the slicer and repeat item 5, but this gives me blank pages after the data.
Do I need any other step?Â
