LOAD a row multiple times based on a value

[#1]

Hi everyone,

I have some data that has been grouped that I want to disaggregate on load.

The data has many fields like Location,Start Year, Age Grouping, Gender. There is one field called Active Customers, most rows have the value 1; ie there are 1 x customer in that Location with that start year, age grouping, gender etc.

However there are some rows with Active Customer set from 2 all the way up to 17.

Can I create something load script to load the rows where active customer is >1 multiple times and created a unique row id at the same time?

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks

Stuart

Hi,

you could use a While clause together with the IterNo() function like this:

LOAD RowNo() as ID, 
          Location,
          [Start Year],
          [Age Grouping],
          Gender
From YourSource
While IterNo() <= [Active Customer];

see also: IterNo

hope this helps

regards

Marco
