    This is homework, isn't it?

    One of the solutions is a pivot table, feel free to research the topic either in this very same forum or the net.

    Horizontal Row

    Hi,

    I managed to display it horizontally using a rowtocol() function I got in the internet. However my problem is how to put the year in a proper column,
    Assuming I have a table compose of a min(year) = 2002 and max(year) 2010.
    Here is a tables records.

    This is just one of the records, the year varies , sometimes one acount id only have one year and some even have from 2002 to 2010.

    1234 2002 12.5
    1234 2004 6.00

    1233 2006 2.05
    1233 2007 11.00

    1444 2009 12.02
    1444 2010 6.55

    my instructor wants it to extract this way

    heading in the excell output file should look like this.

    acc_id 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2009 2010
    1234 12.5, null, 6.00, null, null, null, null, null
    1233 null, null, null, null, 2.05,11.00, null, null
    1444 null, null, null, null, null, null, 12.02, 6.55

    This is the function i took from the internet. It works fine except I don't get the amount in proper column

    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
    rowtocol( p_slct IN VARCHAR2, p_dlmtr IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ',' ) RETURN VARCHAR2

    AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS

    TYPE c_refcur IS REF CURSOR;

    lc_str VARCHAR2(4000);
    lc_colval VARCHAR2(4000);
    c_dummy c_refcur;
    l number;

    BEGIN

    OPEN c_dummy FOR p_slct;

    LOOP
    FETCH c_dummy INTO lc_colval;

    EXIT WHEN c_dummy%NOTFOUND;

    lc_str := lc_str || p_dlmtr || lc_colval;

    END LOOP;

    CLOSE c_dummy;

    RETURN SUBSTR(lc_str,2);

    Thanks.
