How to add two cloumns with the same name from different tables. It needs to be dymanic, because i have columns based on months. Below is the sample data. which i would use to calculate the moving 12 month average for attrition.

So according to the column name and dept id in the row filed the above two tables needs to be added and later divided by the head count of the respective dept ids using the same column headings in a diff table
Looks like you can use the LOOKUPVALUE function or the RELATED function (if the tables are related).

I am trying to achieve the following:
Attached is what my data looks like.
I want to create 2 new variables which counts the number of times 'Target' (variable 1) and 'Competitor' appears (variable 2), within the last 6 months of a given date_of_prescription. This would be done for every unique D_PRESCRIBER_ID.
So for example:
For ID: 1003000902 prescribing on 2020-03-18 date, the COMPETITOR drug. When you look at the rows before that, you can see that within 6 months prior to the 2020-03-18 date, there are 2 Target drugs prescribed and 0 competitor drugs prescribed. So my variable values will be: 2 (variable 1) and 0 (variable 2)
My data is much larger than what the screenshot looks like. It has more variables and 1000's of unique D_PRESCRIBER_IDs. Each row is not a unique ID, there are duplicates in the data for various date_of_prescription timestamps. These variables need to be created in my select statements in order to keep the rest of the data the same.
Any help here would be awesome. Thanks!
Please assist if possible, I have used Stuff to combine rows into a single row based on other columns. However I want to turn each of the unique items into it's own column with a number showing if it exists, e.g. 1 or 0 and then doing the same for all subsequent rows?
I have been able to create the columns but I can't get them to update per whats in the one column.
But I want it to be dynamic so matter how many different names appear in categories it creates a new column and adds 1 or 0 if it appears or not
How about something like this for SQL Server?
strSQL = "SELECT Category, CASE WHEN Category IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS IsCategoryExist FROM MyTable"
Sample data (the 2nd column shows as 1 if the first column is non-blank):
Cars, 1
[Blank], 0
Airplanes, 1
Radios, 1
I have a database where all of the input from the user (through a userform) gets stored. In the database, each column is a different category for the type of data (ex. date, shift, quantity, etc) and the data from the userform input gets put into its corresponding category. For some of the data, all the data is the same except for the quantity. I was wondering how I could combine these rows into one and add the quantities to each other for the whole database (ex. combining the first and third data entries). I have tried playing around with a couple different loops but can't seem to figure anything out.
Period Date Line Shift Type Quantity
4 x 2 4/3/18 A 3 14 18
4 x 2 4/3/18 A 3 13 12
4 x 2 4/3/18 A 3 14 15
Thank you!
If you're looking to modify the underlying database, you might be able to query the data into the format you want by including all the other columns in a GROUP BY statement, save the result to another table, then replace the original table with the properly formatted one.
If you have the data in Excel and you just want to view it with the duplicate rows summed, a Pivot Table would be a good choice. You can select all the other columns as rows for the Pivot Table and sum of Quantity as the values.
What I'm trying to do is add another column to an existing table whose value will depend on an already existing column in the table. For example say I have this table:
Table1
|Letter|
A
C
R
A
I want to create another column (for example, numbers) that is chosen based on the letters. So let's say A corresponds with 10, C with 3 and R with 32 (this was chosen at random). My resulting table should be like this:
|Letter| Number |
A | 10
C | 3
R | 32
A | 10
Can anyone help me write a query that does this..I have over 20 different cases, so the simpler it looks the better.
Thanks in advance!
Options:
Build a table that associates [Letter] with the numeric value. Include this table in query by joining on the common [Letter] fields.
A very long Switch() expression. However, query design grid cell has a limit of 1024 characters.
Better to provide example with your real data and criteria.
I have a powerpivot table that contains 2 columns:
Column 1 contains strings.
Column 2 contains comma delimited strings.
I would like to be able to display all the rows from column 1 when rows from column 2 contains the selection from a filter or slicer. For example:
String Values
ABCD A,A,B
EFGH A,C
if A is selected I would display both rows, if B is selected I would display only row 1...etc.
I know I can split the records - but this is not practical for me - the above is only the top of the iceberg. VBA is out of the question since this will published in SharePoint. Anybody has an idea on how I could do that ? Thanks.
I found the solution in a blog from Javier Guillem:
http://javierguillen.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/simulating-an-approximate-match-vlookup-in-powerpivot/
If in my example the name of the table is "facts", I create a second unlinked table called dimRef that I populate with all possible values that I am interested to match: A,B,C,D...etc.
Then I define the measure M as:
M:=If ( Hasonevalue(facts[Values] ),
Calculate (
LASTNONBLANK (dimRef[String], 1 ),
Filter ( dimRef, SEARCH(dimRef[String],Values(facts[String]),1,0) > 0 )
)
)
I can then use the string column of the facts table and the measure in a pivot table and use dimRef as a selector. If filters the row as per the selection.
One small detail: the measure is not available in PowerView...Anybody knows why ?
