Rolling Up Rows and Creating New Tables: A Step-by-Step Guide
Rolling up rows and creating a new row per roll up In this article, we will explore how to create a temporary table based on the data in an existing table. The goal is to roll up rows that have multiple corresponding values for certain columns and insert new rows with updated importance values. Table Structure Let’s start by examining the structure of our original table: +-----------------------+----------------------+-------------+ | DepartmentName | SubDivisionName | Importance | +-----------------------+----------------------+-------------+ | Security | Cyber | 1 | | Security | Airlines | 2 | | Security | Banks | 3 | | Health | Children | 4 | | Health | Elderly | 5 | | Housing | Housing | 6 | | Misc | | 7 | +-----------------------+----------------------+-------------+ Our temporary table will have the same columns, but we want to add a new row for each department that has multiple sub-divisions.
