Hi All,
Is this the only solution for dynamic pivoting? :

Hoping for a simpler solution.
Kind regards,

That's currently the only way to do a Dynamic Pivot. There isn't anything built into Magic that would allow you to do a pivot without previously knowing the values. You'd have to use a MySQL dataflow as documented in that article.
Hi @GrantSmith , ok that's a shame but thank you!
Is there already somewhere to upvote a dynamic pivot tile in magic ETL?? I would love to upvote that bad boy :)
I think I got this to work using the R scripts. I did it in 2 steps, because I am not that savvy in R. !!!— here is the first Rscript tile, the purpose of this is to make all the names of my new columns in a format R can use, the column that houses my names is called PARTNO —-!!! Import the domomagic library into the script.
library('domomagic') library('janitor') library('tidyverse')
read data from inputs into a data frame
input1 <- read.dataframe('Filter Rows')
write your script here
input1 <- input1 |> mutate( PARTNO = tolower(PARTNO), PARTNO = trimws(PARTNO), PARTNO = gsub("[^[:alnum:]]", "", PARTNO), PARTNO = gsub("+", "_", PARTNO) )
", PARTNO), PARTNO = gsub("
write a data frame so it's available to the next action
write.dataframe(input1) !!!—- this is the second tile, I am making columns with the name in PARTNO, and the vlues from DATA1—-!!!
Import the domomagic library into the script.
library('domomagic') library('tidyverse') library('janitor')
input1 <- read.dataframe('Select Columns')
input2 <- pivot_wider( input1, names_from = PARTNO, values_from = DATA1, values_fill = 0 )
write.dataframe(input2)
Hi @GregLaRose thanks - I've done similar in the past with the Python tile - I wonder if scripts are still the only way!
