Looping through multiple columns Tmap

I have a table with over 89 columns of "meter types", see example below.  I have to read each meter type and populate it in another table along with a meter type definition.

Record Type Location Seq Number Date/Time Serial # Station # meter1 meter2 meter3
4 abc 1 1/24/2024 1234 11 5    
4 abc 2 1/24/2024 1234     10  
4 abc 3 1/24/2024 1234       25

 

 

I have to query that table and populate the data in a different format where 'END_VALUE' is the value of the meter type.

SERIALNO SET_ID METER_TYPE EXTERNAL_ID END_VALUE LOCATION
1234 123_abc meter1 123_abc_meter1 5 abc
1234 123_abc meter2 123_abc_meter2 10 abc
1234 123_abc meter3 123_abc_meter3 25 abc

 

I can do this be creating 89 sub jobs and querying each meter type and then populating that column, but just looking for another option.

 

Thanks for any help.

I solved it by using a unpivot in my input sql.

Hello @RVeitch_84,

if I understand correctly, you want to rotate your table to have each column in a row.
I suggest you take a look at the function Crosstable

Try something like this.Assuming you have 6 fields in the beginning of your table that you don't want to pivot.

 

new_table:

CROSSTABLE(meter_type, end_value,6) 

Load * from [table];

I think this is a Talend question.
