I have a table like this in excel
ID | NAME | JOB | PRICE
1 | alex | Java | 100
1 | alex | C++ | 100
1 | alex | PHP | 500
2 | road | Android | 400
2 | road | Ruby | 400
3 | brit | Java | 200
3 | brit | PHP | 500
3 | brit | C | 100
3 | brit | DotNet | 300
I need output in following format
ID | NAME | JOB | PRICE
1 | alex | Java,C++,PHP | 700
2 | road | Android,Ruby | 800
3 | brit | Java, PHP, C, DotNet | 1100
so i use Microsoft Query to generate this output using the following query
Select ID, NAME , GROUP_CONCAT(JOB) ,Sum(PRICE) from Table Group By ID;
but it keep to show me error .. any suggestion
Possibly the closest you can get with SQL is the crosstab query which is available in the Jet/ACE SQL dialect. Jet/ACE is a set of Windows .dll files used for ODBC/OLEDB connections of MS Access databases and Excel spreadsheets. Do note Jet/ACE imposes a maximum limit of 255 columns.
Specifically, below calculates a running count of alphabetically ordered jobs (taking the max of repeat values) and then pivots from that source:
TRANSFORM Max(main.Job) As MaxOfJob
SELECT main.ID, main.[Name], Sum(main.PRICE) AS SumOfPrice
FROM (
SELECT i.*, (SELECT Count(*) FROM [Sheet1$] sub
WHERE sub.ID = i.ID AND sub.JOB <= i.JOB) As RunCount
FROM [Sheet1$] i
) AS main
GROUP BY main.ID, main.[Name]
PIVOT main.RunCount;
-- ID Name SumOfPrice 1 2 3 4
-- 1 alex 700 C++ Java PHP
-- 2 road 800 Android Ruby
-- 3 brit 1100 C DotNet Java PHP
Once you have a completed resultset, concatenate all the numbered column cells into the comma-separated JOB column with Excel's CONCATENATE() or loop through each column cell with VBA.
The way you want your table to look like includes a "Combined field", which is frowned upon in database design. You're initial design is correct, in the sense that each language takes up 1 entry in the table.

I am new to Cognos and I know SQL but it seems I can’t figure out cognos logic for some basic stuff. It's been two days I am trying and I have been looking all over the internet without finding anything.
Here’s the problem.
I have a Dimension Product that has two dimensions under it: type of product and article (in this order, article is below type of product in terms of hierarchy).
Let’s simplify and say I have this table:
Product line | Article | Sales
-------------------------------
Shoes | Article1 | 1000
| Article2 | 2000
| Article3 | 10
| Article4 | 20
| Article5 | 30
Bags | Article6 | 100
| Article7 | 100
| Article8 | 30
Balls | Article9 | 50
| Article10 | 50
I want to display the sales per product line and per article for article1 and article2 and the sales per product line only for the rest.
I want my final result to look like this:
Product line | Article | Sales
-------------------------------
Shoes | Article1 | 1000
| Article2 | 2000
| Other | 60
Bags | Other | 330
Balls | Other | 100
I created an elementary data with the following expression “if [article-name] in (‘article1’,’article2’) then ([article-name]) else (‘other’) but it gives me this:
Product line | ArticleNEW| Sales
-------------------------------
Shoes | Article1 | 1000
| Article2 | 2000
| Other | 10
| Other | 20
| Other | 30
Bags | Other | 100
| Other | 100
| Other | 30
Balls | Other | 50
| Other | 50
I thought Cognos would group by automatically but it seems it does not when you create a new expression….
Please note that I have thousands of articles and I cannot create a data that would say “article3+article4+article5 etc.”.
If anyone has an idea on this, it would be great!
Thank you in advance!
I believe the issue is with the model. If you have access to Framework Manager and the project/metadata, this would change my answer
Try this method: 3 queries
1) Query 1 just have product line and article
2) Query 2 product line, article, sales
3) Next go to queries, then tool box, find the join.
Drag that over. There will be spots to add query 1 and query 2
In the middle is how you define the join
Connect the product line and article (there should be a button to add links so you should have 2 lines). This will be 1 to many (1.1 to 1.n). The first part represents the type of join, 1 being inner, 0 being outer. The second part is the relationship (either 1 or n for many).
We can group by query 1 and aggregate query 2 the way we want
Double click on query 3 and drag the data items (from query 1 and query 2)
Grab sales from query 2, and everything else from query 1
Now you should be able to set the aggregate property for Sales (either total or sum)
I've created Pivot Tables before using VBA but my professor recently gave us a bonus that although is not necessary, is driving me nuts.
Use a VBA Macro to write Region, District, and Store Name to your first report to create a new report
1) My first report looks like this:
Location | Sum of ActNetSales | Sum of PlanNetSales
----------|--------------------|---------------------
1 | $76,170 | $65,172
100 | $163,691 | $140,057
101 | $34,724 | $29,710
104 | $70,501 | $60,322
106 | $113,826 | $97,391
2) Below is the data source for the above report.
Division | Year | Week | Location | SchedDept | PlanNetSales | ActNetSales | AreaCategory
----------|------|------|----------|-----------|--------------|-------------|--------------
5 | 2018 | 10 | 520 | 541 | 1943.2 | 2271.115 | Non-Comm
5 | 2018 | 10 | 520 | 608 | 4378.4 | 5117.255 | Non-Comm
5 | 2018 | 10 | 520 | 1059 | 1044.8 | 1221.11 | Comm
5 | 2018 | 10 | 520 | 1126 | 6308 | 7372.475 | Non-Comm
3) My professor wants me to add the following information to the above table: Region, District and Store Name. However, these 3 fields are from a different data source then the above report. Below is the data source for the 3 fields I've listed.
Division | Location | LocationName | Region | RegionName | District | DistrictName
----------|----------|--------------|--------|------------|----------|--------------
5 | 1 | Location 1 | 3 | Region 3 | 18 | District 18
5 | 4 | Location 4 | 5 | Region 5 | 32 | District 32
5 | 5 | Location 5 | 3 | Region 3 | 19 | District 19
5 | 6 | Location 6 | 5 | Region 5 | 28 | District 28
I've created what he's asking above by joining the 2 tables (created a key by concatenating the foreign keys - location and division: to make a unique key and using a basic index/match ) and just creating a Pivot Table from that but I want to try my best to solve the bonus! Unfortunately, I don't have Power Query so I had to do it this way. I've tried searching up the above and I can't find any good resources. Is there anything you can suggest or just point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Is it cheating to modify your table under (2) to add the columns region, district, and storename using VLOOKUP on the third table? The second table would then have raw data, and extra columns of constructed data, effectively joining it to the third table using the Excel VLOOKUP trick rather than an actual SQL table join.
Then you can just use the expanded, joined table as your one Pivot Table source.
Cheating is legal in love, war, and IT solutions.
Within a resource planner, my data has a row for each employee, and columns detailing the team they work for. Another column details the available days they will work in the year. The teams are also displayed along a row at the top, see below :
A | B | C | D | E | F | G |
1 Employee | Team 1 | Team 2 | Days | Finance | Risk | IT |
2 Employee 1 | Finance | | 170 | | | |
3 Employee 2 | Risk | Finance | 170 | | | |
4 Employee 3 | Finance | | 170 | | | |
5 Employee 4 | IT | Risk | 170 | | | |
6 Employee 5 | IT | Finance | 170 | | | |
I want to use columns E:G as a supply calculator per team. Therefore, the formula in cell E2 would be "=IF(B2=E1,D2,0)" and copied along the row, returning the 170 days under Finance and 0 under the rest.
The issue lies where an employee divides his time between two different teams. As you can see, some employees can work for 2 different teams (Employee 2 works for both Finance and Risk, for example). The formula in E3 would therefore need to be some kind of IF AND, where if a value is present in the Team 2 column (C), the value in the Days column (D) would be divided by two and split across the relevent team columns.
I've tried a few options, IF AND, nested IFS etc but cant seem to get the syntax correct. Any help greatly appreciated.
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(E$1,$B2:$C2,0)),$D2/COUNTA($B2:$C2),0)
You actually want OR and COUNTA:
=IF(OR($B2=E$1,$C2=E$1),$D2/COUNTA($B2:$C2),0)
I have 2 lists;
"yesterday" and "today".
As rows I have a list of companies and the data shown is customer satisfaction going from 0-10. I want to show the top 3 companies that has the best difference between "yesterday" and "today".
How would you approach this??
Expected output looking for top 1:
Yesterday - Today
Company A: 5 10
Company B: 7 8
Company C: 8 6
Top 1: Company A (Since they moved the most(5 positive points))
Assuming your data is like this:
#########Sheet1<YESTERDAY>########
| A | B |
1|Companies| Customer satisfaction|
2|Company1 | 6
3|Company2 | 3
4|Company3 | 4
5|Company4 | 1
6|Company5 | 9
###########Sheet2<TODAY>##########
| A | B | C | D |
1|Companies| Customer satisfaction|Absolute changes | RANK |
2|Company1 | 1 | | |
3|Company2 | 7 | | |
4|Company3 | 7 | | |
5|Company4 | 4 | | |
6|Company5 | 8 | | |
Put this formula into Cell C2to get absolute change:
=ABS(VLOOKUP(A2,YESTERDAY!$A$2:$B$6,2,FALSE)-B2)
Put this formula into Cell D2to get Rank:
=RANK(C2,$C$2:$C$6,0)
So, 1,2,3 in Column RANK are best changes.
I assume best difference as highest difference.run a loop and take the first row company from yesterday as well as the customer satisfaction value and search that same company in today in another inner loop and find the difference of the two values and save it in an array.After that sort the array and display the top 3.
I have the following tables
Orders:
OrderID|Cost|Quarter|User
-------------------------
1 | 10 | 1 | 1
2 | 15 | 1 | 2
3 | 3 | 2 | 1
4 | 5 | 3 | 3
5 | 8 | 4 | 2
6 | 9 | 2 | 3
7 | 6 | 3 | 3
Goals:
UserID|Goal|Quarter
-------------------
1 | 20 | 1
1 | 15 | 2
2 | 12 | 2
2 | 15 | 3
3 | 5 | 3
3 | 7 | 4
Users:
UserID|Name
-----------
1 | John
2 | Bob
3 | Homer
What I'm trying to do is to sum up all orders that one user had, divide it by the sum of his goals, then sum up all orders, devide the result by the sum of all goals and then add this result to the previous result of all Users.
The result should be:
UserID|Name |Goal|CostSum|Percentage|Sum all
---------------------------------------------------
1 |John | 35 | 13 | 0.37 |
2 |Bob | 27 | 23 | 0.85 |
3 |Homer| 12 | 20 | 1.67 |
the calculation is as follow:
CostSum: 10+3=13
Goal: 20+15=35
Percentage: CostSum/Goal=13/35=0.37
Sum all: 10+15+3+5+8+9+6=56
Goal all: 20+15+12+15+5+7=74
percentage all= Sum_all/Goal_all=56/74=0.76
Result: percentage+percentage_all=0.37+0.76=1.13 for John
1.61 for Bob
2.43 for Homer
My main problem is the last step. I cant get it to add the whole percentage. It will always filter the result so making it wrong.
To do this you're going to need to create some measures.
(I will assume you've already set your pivot table to be in tabular layout with subtotals switched off - this allows you to set UserID and Name next to each other in the row labels section.)
This is what our output will look like.
First let's be sure you've set up your relationships correctly - it should be like this:
I believe you already have the first 5 columns set up in your pivot table, so we need to create measures for CostSumAll, GoalSumAll, PercentageAll and Result.
The key to making this work is to ensure PowerPivot ignores the row label filter for your CostSumAll and GoalSumAll measures. The ALL() function acts as an override filter when used in CALCULATE() - you just have to specify which filters you want to ignore. In this case, UserID and Name.
CostSumAll:
=CALCULATE(SUM(Orders[Cost]),ALL(Users[UserID]),ALL(Users[Name]))
GoalSumAll:
=CALCULATE(SUM(Goals[Goal]),ALL(Users[UserID]),ALL(Users[Name]))
PercentageAll:
=Orders[CostSumAll]/Orders[GoalSumAll]
Result:
=Orders[Percentage]+Orders[PercentageAll]
