    @luizalauretti Can you please provide some anonymized examples of what your data looks like and what you want the result to look like?

    It sounds like what you described should be possible in ETL, but I want to be sure I'm understanding correctly before offering suggestions.

    This first Database is what i have, you can look that has two areas (IV and V) and i want to group in one area (like the second table - SP) and sum the values, someone suggest me to use the formulas on Magic Etl, but i have no idea how, lol

    @luizalauretti You should be able to create the second table using a Group By tile in MagicETL that groups by PPG, RE, and TYPE then takes the Sum of VALUE. Then you can use an Add Constants tile to create a new AREA column with a value of "SP".

    @luizalauretti You would want Area to be stored as Text with a value of SP.
