Transposing Data SQL - sql

Question

The data looks similar to this:
+----+------+-----------+-------+---------+---------+--------+
| ID | Unit | Floorplan | Sq Ft | Name | Amenity | Charge |
+----+------+-----------+-------+---------+---------+--------+
| 1 | 110 | A1 | 750 | Alan | GARAGE | 50 |
| 2 | | | | | RENT | 850 |
| 3 | | | | | PEST | 2 |
| 4 | | | | | TRASH | 15 |
| 5 | | | | | TOTAL | 20 |
| 6 | 111 | A2 | 760 | Bill | STORAGE | 35 |
| 7 | | | | | GARAGE | 50 |
| 8 | | | | | RENT | 850 |
| 9 | | | | | PEST | 2 |
| 10 | | | | | TOTAL | 15 |
| 11 | 112 | A3 | 770 | Charlie | PETRENT | 20 |
| 12 | | | | | STORAGE | 35 |
| 13 | | | | | GARAGE | 50 |
| 14 | | | | | RENT | 850 |
| 15 | | | | | TOTAL | 2 |
+----+------+-----------+-------+---------+---------+--------+
I am new to SQL and trying my best using Microsoft Access, but I need help.
The data needs to look like this:
My first step is to separate the units from the rest with
SELECT * FROM table WHERE Unit <> NULL;
and after that I've usually just hard-input the rest.
My idea was as follows:
INSERT INTO table
VALUES (NULL,NULL,...,'Pest',$2)
FROM table
WHERE NOT EXIST 'Pest' BETWEEN x AND y
/* where x = Total 1 and y = Total 2*/
Am I on the right track? I probably need a loop or a join, but I'm not at that level yet.

You can use a crosstab query, though a bit convoluted it is:
TRANSFORM
Sum(TableUnit.Charge) AS SumOfCharge
SELECT
S.Unit,
S.Floorplan,
S.SqFt,
S.Name,
S.Amenity
FROM
TableUnit,
(SELECT
Q.Id,
Val(DMax("Id","TableUnit","Id<=" & Q.[Id] & " And Unit Is Not Null")) AS ParentId
FROM TableUnit As Q) AS T,
(SELECT
TableUnit.Id,
TableUnit.Unit,
TableUnit.Floorplan,
TableUnit.SqFt,
TableUnit.Name,
TableUnit.Amenity
FROM
TableUnit
WHERE
TableUnit.Unit Is Not Null) AS S
WHERE
TableUnit.Id=[T].[Id]
AND
T.ParentId)=[S].[Id]
GROUP BY
T.ParentId,
S.Unit,
S.Floorplan,
S.SqFt,
S.Name,
S.Amenity
PIVOT
TableUnit.Amenity In
("Garage","Pest","Trash","PetRent","Storage","Rent");
Your test data differs a little from your expected output, so:

My MSAccess is rather rusty, but something like this should work:
SELECT t0.Unit, t0.Floorplan, t0.[Sq Ft], t0.Name, t0.Amenity
, SUM(IIF(tM.Amenity = 'GARAGE', Charge, 0)) AS [Garage]
, SUM(IIF(tM.Amenity = 'PEST', Charge, 0)) AS [Pest]
FROM (
SELECT t1.id AS id0, MIN(t2.id) AS idN
FROM t AS t1
INNER JOIN t AS t2 ON t1.id < t2.id
WHERE t1.Unit <> '' AND t2.Unit <> ''
) AS groups
INNER JOIN t AS t0 ON t0.id = groups.id0
LEFT JOIN t AS tM ON tM.id > groups.id0 AND tm.id < groups.idN
GROUP BY t0.Unit, t0.Floorplan, t0.[Sq Ft], t0.Name, t0.Amenity
;
Though, if I remember correctly, and it hasn't changed in newer versions; you can't have true subqueries and will need to make groups a separate query you can join to as if it were a table/view.
