Sako Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi, I am looking for a way to do a crosstab. I've read plenty of articles on mySQL "crosstabs", but I still haven't found one that suits my needs. Here is my table: Ticker - Date - Field1 MSFT - 20110325 - 1 MSFT - 20110322 - 0 CSCO - 20110325 - 1 CSCO - 20110322 - 1 I want the format below as a result: 20110325 - 20110322 MSFT - CSCO CSCO - Basically, if Field1 is 1, then show the ticker. The hardest part is how would I name the column name as the date instead of manually writing "select ... As 20110325 ..." Any help?

fenway Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 You'll have to do this mostly in php -- first select the tickers, then go back and craft a fancy sql statement.
