Creating hierarchy in data column

ahammadshafi — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Dear Experts:

My client wants to view a table with a hierarchy (Region-> Sub-Region -> Country).

But they all come in a single column, "Country".

Please find attached sample data.

My question would be, what is the best approach to create the hierarchy while/after loading the data? And how should I create the table in desired format (with proper spacing, parent->child like Nordics-> Norway)?

Hi!

Find attachment! !

It's hierarchy and pivot table, but I'm not sure that it is possible to do vertical pivot

Hi Ahammad,

First, you need to add the ID for the Node and the Parent. I attach the Excel file with the example.

Then you can use the Hierarchy Logic.

Aux:
LOAD Geo_Level,
     Country, 
     ParentID, 
     CountryID,
     Product, 
     Type, 
     Period, 
     Value
FROM
[Sample Data.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Data);




NoConcatenate
Hierarchy(CountryID, ParentID, Country) 
LOAD Distinct
  CountryID,
  ParentID,
  Country
Resident Aux;


Table:
LOAD Geo_Level,
     CountryID,
     Product, 
     Type, 
     Period, 
     Value
FROM
[Sample Data.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Data);




drop Table Aux;


EXIT Script;

The result is something like that:
