Grouping multiple period columns

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm not really sure how to phrase this but my issue deals with having multiple columns in a table that have a month attached to it.

For example, the table looks like this:

Location,

Item,

Current_period_purchased,

Current_period_sold,

Current_period_transferred,

Period1_Purchased,

Period1_sold,

Period1_transferred,

Period2_Purchased,

Period2_sold,

Period2_transferred,

etc.

What I'm trying to do is have the periods grouped together with month, purchased, sold, and transferred being columns:

Location,

Item,

Month,

Purchased,

Sold,

Transferred

Is there any way to do this?  I was thinking crosstable but I'm not sure how to execute that.

Thank you in advance.

You have to check and try with below load script as you describe there is different fields but they have common values and field name then try like

Load

Location,

Item,

Current_period_purchased as Purchased,

Current_period_sold as Sold,

Current_period_transferred as Transferred

From Location;

Concatenate

Load

Location,

Item,

Period1_Purchased as Purchased,

Period1_sold as Sold,

Period1_transferred as Transferred

From Location;

Concatenate

Load

Location,

Item,

Period2_Purchased as Purchased,

Period2_sold as Sold,

Period2_transferred as Transferred

From Location;

I think this is closer to what I need and it gives me an idea.

Perhaps loading the script like this will work:

Load

month(now() as Month,

Location,

Item,

Current_period_purchased as Purchased,

Current_period_sold as Sold,

Current_period_transferred as Transferred

From Table;

Concatenate

Load

'January' as Month,

Location,

Item,

Period1_Purchased as Purchased,

Period1_sold as Sold,

Period1_transferred as Transferred

resident Table;

Concatenate

Load

'February' as Month,

Location,

Item,

Period2_Purchased as Purchased,

Period2_sold as Sold,

Period2_transferred as Transferred

resident Table;

and so on
