I have a simple query that produces the below results:
SELECT month,transporttype,count(transporttype) as loads
from deliveries
group by month,transporttype
I would like to transpose the rows into columns.
I understand mysql does not have pivot functions so a union is required but not 100% sure.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You can do it with a crosstab like this -
SELECT
`year`,
`month`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'inbound', 1, 0)) AS `inbound`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'LocalPMB', 1, 0)) AS `LocalPMB`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'Long Distance', 1, 0)) AS `Long Distance`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'shuttle', 1, 0)) AS `shuttle`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'export', 1, 0)) AS `export`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'Extrusions-LongDistance', 1, 0)) AS `Extrusions-LongDistance`,
SUM(IF(`transporttype` = 'Extrusions-Shuttle', 1, 0)) AS `Extrusions-Shuttle`
FROM `deliveries`
GROUP BY `year`, `month`
On a different note, you should move transporttype values to a lookup table and have transporttype_id in this table.
