I have the following input data range
and the following desired output
The first block with Compals will be always the same - so 5 rows. Base Unit Current and Base Unit Later blocks will be variable - sometimes eight options and sometimes more than eight options.
I'm very new in excel vba so unfortunately I have no idea how to do that. Please, could anyone help me or give me some advice. Many thanks in advance.
Wonder you accept this kind of answer of not?
Instead of table, I think this kind of pivot may suitable your need:
I reform the table
Create the pivot table

i like to know the approach we take for data imputation in the dataset.i have missing values in the data set . what method and on what basis we choose to replace the na values i the dataset
I can't tell you exactly what to do without knowing the data you are actually dealing with... But I assume wildcard package in R is very helpful.
Please take a look at this official document if you are using R to manipulate data.
I'm trying to add data from a internal table to a custom one.
DATA: BEGIN OF TMP_CTRYGRP_T OCCURS 1000,
CTYGR TYPE /SAPSLL/CTYGR,
TEXT1 TYPE /SAPSLL/TEXT60,
END OF TMP_CTRYGRP_T.
SELECT ctygr, text1 FROM /SAPSLL/CTYGPT INTO TABLE #DATA(lt_countryGroupsTable)
LOOP AT lt_countryGroupsTable ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<ls_countryGroups>).
APPEND <ls_countryGroups> TO TMP_CTRYGRP_T.
ENDLOOP.
Then I want to add the line in a custom Table Type ZZ_T_TAB
So I've tried to create a field-symbol of this table, creating an internal table from it, but none of the solutions I've tried was permitting me to add lines in that Custom table (even if the one in the program had the lines).
The problem I mainly encountered was:
are not mutually convertible in a Unicode program.
So my questions are:
Why does that error happen? Googling it didn't provide me an understandable answer
For the moment I'm using an internal table limited to 1000 rows. But I don't really know by advance the number of lines the search could provide. Is there any way to improve that?
How to add lines from any solution to my ZZ_T_TAB then? And afterwards how could I add other fields in the same table, for the rows already existing?
As some of you maybe understood, I'm quite a rookie in ABAP.
So if there's any useful link to understand all of that I would be happy if you can share it with me.
Why don't you directly select into the table?
Don't use OCCURS as it is declared obsolete and already forbidden in classes.
Declare your own structure as type and mark your custom internal table as TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF struct_type. This way, there will be no upper bounds
TYPES:
BEGIN OF struct_type,
CTYGR TYPE /SAPSLL/CTYGR,
TEXT1 TYPE /SAPSLL/TEXT60,
END OF struct_type.
DATA tmp_ctrygrp_t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF struct_type WITH EMPTY KEY.

understandable answer
You cannot use APPEND with non-identical structures. You have to "convert" it before. Look up for the command MOVE-CORRESPODING in ABAP help (F1 on command in editor).

Do not use OCCURS extension it is deprecated (as lausek wrote), old syntax.
How then to add lines from any solution to my ZZ_T_TAB ? And
afterwards how could I add other fields in the same table, for the
rows already existing?
You can modify a DB table various ways.:
1, Use UPDATE statement to directly update a field value.
2, Use MODIFY statement to modify field values from a (for example) pre-selected
structure.
Look up the UPDATE and MODIFY command in ABAP help, there are really helpful code examples.
I have a table containing a series of survey responses, structured like this:
Question Category | Question Number | Respondent ID | Answer
This seemed the most logical storage for the data. The combination of Question Category, Question Number, and Respondent ID is unique.
Problem is, I've been asked for a report with the Respondent ID as the columns, with Answer as the rows. Since Answer is free-text, the numeric-expecting PIVOT command doesn't help. It would be great if each row was a specific Question Category / Question Number pairing so that all of the information is displayed in a single table.
Is this possible? I'm guessing a certain amount of dynamic SQL will be required, especially with the expected 50-odd surveys to display.
I think this task should be done by your client code - trying to do this transposing on SQL side is not very good idea. Such SQL (even if it can be constructed) will likely be extremely complicated and fragile.
First of all, you should count how many distinct answers are there - you probably don't want to create report 1000 columns wide if all answers are different. Also, you probably want to make sure that answers are narrow - what if someone gave really bad 1KB wide answer?
Then, you should construct your report (would that be HTML or something else) dynamically based on results of your standard, non-transposed SQL.
For example, in HTML you can create as many columns as you want using <th>column</th> for table header and <td>value</td> for data cell - as long as you know already how many columns are going to be in your output result.
To me, it seems that the problem is the number of columns. You don't know how many respondents there are.
One idea would be to concatenate the respondent ids. You can do this in SQL Server as:
select distinct Answer,
(select cast(RespondentId as varchar(255))+'; '
from Responses r2
where r2.Answer = r.Answer
for xml path ('')
) AllResponders
from Responses r
(This is untested so may have syntax errors.)
If reporting services or excel power pivot are possibilities for the report then they could both probably accomplish what you want easier than a straight sql query. In RS you can use a tablix, and in power pivot a pivot table. Both avoid having to define your pivot columns in an sql pivot statement, and both can dynamically determine the column names from a tabular result set.
Before I ask my question will layout what I'm trying to do.
I have this table such as below
Columns - PID, Choice1, Choice2,......Choice10
Rows - 1,X, O, X, O.........
Ive been searching on the net for quite some time and need a little push in the right direction if what I'm trying to do is possible. While getting the coding will help me with the small project I'm doing, it doesn't really help me learn more about SQl.
Is it possible to do a search on the table and return only the columns that have a value of X where PID = some value??
My gut instinct is saying no and I might have to restructure my database to accomplish what I'm doing. As i said a point in the right direction where I can read up on what I'm trying to do is great, getting the coding for it.. really doesn't help me learn it for future reference.
It does sound like you should restructure your database, but you can use PIVOT and UNPIVOT to transpose and restructure the output table. Columns are normally fixed with a variable number of rows depending on the WHERE clause. Using PIVOT can swap columns for rows, giving you what you need.
I need to get data in multiple row of one column.
For example data from that format
ID Interest
Sports
Cooking
Movie
Reading
to that format
ID Interest
Sports,Cooking
Movie,Reading
I wonder that we can do that in MS Access sql. If anybody knows that, please help me on that.
Take a look at Allen Browne's approach: Concatenate values from related records
As for the normalization argument, I'm not suggesting you store concatenated values. But if you want to join them together for display purposes (like a report or form), I don't think you're violating the rules of normalization.
This is called de-normalizing data. It may be acceptable for final reporting. Apparently some experts believe it's good for something, as seen here.
(Mind you, kevchadder's question is right on.)
Have you looked into the SQL Pivot operation?
Take a look at this link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177410.aspx
Just noticed you're using access. Take a look at this article:
http://www.blueclaw-db.com/accessquerysql/pivot_query.htm
This is nothing you should do in SQL and it's most likely not possible at all.
Merging the rows in your application code shouldn't be too hard.
