Group data in rows

[Stevenn]

I have data

 

 

Name, Year, Month, Amount
==
A, 2012, nov, 14
A, 2012, dec, 48
A, 2012, jan, 8
B, 2011, feb, 17
B, 2011, aug, 10
(...)

 

 

How is it possible to group the names, so the output will be

 

Name, Feb2011, Aug2011, Jan2012, Nov2012, Dec2012
==
A, 0, 0, 8, 14, 48
B, 17, 10, 0, 0, 0

 

I have really no idea what function to look for.

You need to use some logic in PHP. Where is the data coming from?

Basically you need to order them by the parent (In your case, A and B ) and then keep track of which one you're printing when you output.

I wrote an article about this on my site. It's using MySQL but the logic is the same no matter where your data comes from.

Just saw you posted this in MySQL so I'm going to assume it's a MySQL Database

By using month names instead of month numbers you have painted yourself into a corner when it comes to sorting the dates. Apr, Aug, Feb and Dec come before Jan
