Join two crosstab table

[#1]

Hello Everyone,

I have two crosstab tables need join together.

Headcount2012 Table:

Div	month1	month2	month3	month4	month5	month6	month7	month8	month9	month10	month11	month12
div1	2	3	4	6	4	3	2	2	6	8	2	1
div2	1	3	4	6	6	7	8	1	2	3	4	5
div3	2	4	6	7	3	2	1	5	6	7	3	2
div4	1	2	3	4	5	4	3	5	6	2	1	4

Headcount2011 Table:

Div	month1	month2	month3	month4	month5	month6	month7	month8	month9	month10	month11	month12
div1	1	2	3	5	4	6	8	9	1	2	3	5
div2	2	3	5	6	4	7	3	2	1	5	6	2
div3	1	3	4	5	6	8	2	3	5	6	7	6
div4	2	4	6	7	8	9	1	2	4	5	6	7
div5	4	5	6	6	3	6	4	8	1	2	3	4

in 2012 has one division removed. I need to add them to dashboard and 2012 shows 4 divisions and 2013 shows 5 division.

Can anyone help me create a join strategy?

Thanks in advance,

Dust

I'd concatenate the two tables instead of joining them. Something like:

Data:

crosstable(Month,Value,2)

load  2012 as Year, * from ...headcount2012table...;

concatenate

crosstable(Month,Value,2)

load 2011 as Year, * from ...headcount2011table...;

You'll end up with a table named Data with four fields: Div, Month, Value and Year. You can then create charts as needed. See for example the two pivot charts in the attached example.

Thank you for your helpful answer, Gybert.

For the new year 2013, we have some division removed from our system. When I load those data like you did, The division grey out since we don't have data for those removed division current year.

My dashboard need to show prior year such as 5 division and current year 4 division. It may need some bridge table to join those tables.

Best regards,

Dust
