I have a list of survey results that looks similar to the following:
| Email | Question 1 | Question 2 |
| ----------------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| test#example.com | Always | Sometimes |
| test2#example.com | Always | Always |
| test3#example.com | Sometimes | Never |
Question 1 and Question 2 (and a few others) have the same discrete set of values (from a dropdown list on the survey).
I want to show the data in the following format in Tableau (a table is fine, but a heatmap or highlight table would be best):
| | Always | Sometimes | Never |
| ---------- | ------ | --------- | ----- |
| Question 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| Question 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
How can I achieve this? I've tried various combinations of rows and columns and I just can't seem to get close to this layout. Do I need to use a calculated value?
As far as I know - it is not natively possible with Tableau, because what you have is kind of a pivot table.
What you can do is unpivot the whole table as explained here https://stackoverflow.com/a/20543651/5130012, then you can load the data into Tableau and create the table you want.
I did some dummy data and tried it.
That's my "unpivoted" table:
Row,Column,Value
test,q1,always
test,q2,sometimes
test1,q1,sometimes
test1,q2,never
test10,q1,always
test10,q2,always
test11,q1,sometimes
test11,q2,never
And that's how it looks in Tableau:

I'm trying to fill a table with data to test a system.
I have two tables
User
+----+----------+
| id | name |
+----+----------+
| 1 | Majikaja |
| 2 | User 2 |
| 3 | Markus |
+----+----------+
Goal
+----+----------+---------+
| id | goal | user_id |
+----+----------+---------+
I want to insert into goal one record for every user only using their IDs (they have to exists) and some fixed or random value.
I was thinking in something like this:
INSERT INTO Goal (goal, user_id) values ('Fixed value', select u.id from user u)
So it will generate:
Goal
+----+-------------+---------+
| id | goal | user_id |
+----+-------------+---------+
| 1 | Fixed value | 1 |
| 2 | Fixed value | 2 |
| 3 | Fixed value | 3 |
+----+-------------+---------+
I could just write a simple PHP script to achieve it but I wonder if is it possible to do using raw SQL only.
I suspect this question is already well-answered but perhaps due to limited SQL vocabulary I have not managed to find what I need. I have a database with many code:description mappings in a single 'parameter' table. I would like to define a query or procedure to return the descriptions for all (or an arbitrary list of) coded values in a given 'content' table with their descriptions from the parameter table. I don't want to alter the original data, I just want to display friendly results.
Is there a standard way to do this?
Can it be accomplished with SELECT or are other statements required?
Here is a sample query for a single coded field:
SELECT TOP (5)
newid() as id,
B.BRIDGE_STATUS,
P.SHORTDESC
FROM
BRIDGE B
LEFT JOIN PARAMTRS P ON P.TABLE_NAME = 'BRIDGE'
AND P.FIELD_NAME = 'BRIDGE_STATUS'
AND P.PARMVALUE = B.BRIDGE_STATUS
ORDER BY
id
I want to produce 'decoded' results like:
| id | BRIDGE_STATUS |
|--------------------------------------|------------ |
| BABCEC1E-5FE2-46FA-9763-000131F2F688 | Active |
| 758F5201-4742-43C6-8550-000571875265 | Active |
| 5E51634C-4DD9-4B0A-BBF5-00087DF71C8B | Active |
| 0A4EA521-DE70-4D04-93B8-000CD12B7F55 | Inactive |
| 815C6C66-8995-4893-9A1B-000F00F839A4 | Proposed |
Rather than original, coded data like:
| id | BRIDGE_STATUS |
|--------------------------------------|---------------|
| F50214D7-F726-4996-9C0C-00021BD681A4 | 3 |
| 4F173E40-54DC-495E-9B84-000B446F09C3 | 3 |
| F9C216CD-0453-434B-AFA0-000C39EFA0FB | 3 |
| 5D09554E-201D-4208-A786-000C537759A1 | 1 |
| F0BDB9A4-E796-4786-8781-000FC60E200C | 4 |
but for an arbitrary number of columns.
I want a Cross tab that lists field values and counts them instead of just giving a count for the summation. I know I could make this with groups but I cant list the values vertically that way. From my research I believe I have to use a Display String Formula.
SQL Field Data
-------------------------------------------------
| Play # | Formation |Back Set | R/P | PLAY |
-------------------------------------------------
| 1 | TREY | FG | R | TRUCK |
-------------------------------------------------
| 2 | T | FG | R | RHINO |
-------------------------------------------------
| 3 | D | FG | P | 5 STEP |
-------------------------------------------------
| 4 | D | FG | P | 5 STEP |
-------------------------------------------------
| 5 | K JET | NG | R | DOG |
-------------------------------------------------
Desired report structure:
-----------------------------------------------------------
| Backet & Formation | Run | Pass |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| NG K JET | BULLA 1 | |
| | HELL 3 | |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| FG D | | 5 STEP 2 |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| NG K JET | DOG | |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| FG T | RHINO | |
-----------------------------------------------------------
Don't see why a Crosstab is necessary for this - especially if the entire body of the report is just that table.
Group your records by Bracket and Formation - If that's not
something natively configured in your table, make a new Formula field
and group on that.
Drop the 3 relevant fields into whichever section you need to display. (It might be a Footer, based on whether or not you want repeats
Write a formula to determine whether or not Run or Pass are displayed, and place it in their suppression field. (Good luck getting a Crosstab to do that for you! It tends to prefer 0s over blanks.)
If there's more to the report than just this table, you can cheat the system by placing your "table" into a subreport. And of course you can stretch Line objects across the sections and it will stretch to form the table outlines
I got two columns list like this
+----+-------+
| Nr | Name |
+----+-------+
| 1 | Alice |
| 2 | Bob |
| 3 | Joe |
| 4 | Ann |
| 5 | Jane |
+----+-------+
And would like to generate a random name from this list.
For now I am only able to randomly select a number and then manually pick out the corresponding name - using this function =RANDBETWEEN(A2;A10) How can I pick out the name instead?
Assuming that the data of your table are in cells E7:F11 the following code can do what you need:
=VLOOKUP(RANDBETWEEN(1;5);E7:F11;2)
Further, in case you need to create a random permutation of the names you may also use the Calc extension Permutate at https://sourceforge.net/projects/permutate/.
Hope that helps.
Assuming your data is with Nr in A1 I suggest:
=INDEX(B$2:B$6;RANDBETWEEN(1;5))
then there is no need for the Nr column in making the selection.
I have following data from my database:
+------+-----------+-------------+---------------+
| ID | SomeValue | SomeDate | SomeOtherDate |
+------+-----------+-------------+---------------+
| 123 | 12345 | 01.01.2017 | 01.01.2018 |
| 123 | 54321 | 01.01.2017 | 01.01.2019 |
| 123 | 25314 | 01.01.2017 | 01.01.2020 |
+------+-----------+-------------+---------------+
I want the following format in Crystal Reports:
+------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| ID | SomeValue2018 | SomeValue2019 | SomeValue2020 |
+------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
| 123 | 12345 | 54321 | 25314 |
+------+---------------+---------------+---------------+
How can I do this, if it's even possible? I've tried multiple examples but cant seem to make it work. I was successfully able to make the headings.
It is difficult to make Crystal Reports evaluate things horizontally. The entire system is designed to evaluate vertically. (Things on the top of a report are evaluated before things below them.)
However you might be able to get a CrossTab to do this. First you'd want to make a new Forumla field for your columns. It would be structured something like:
"SomeValue" + Year({#SomeOtherDate})
When you design the crosstab, you'll want to set ID as the Row, your new formula from above as the Column, and the Summarized Field will be SomeValue. You'll also want to suppress the Grand Totals in the Customize Style.
