I am solving a problem very similar to this only in my case, I am not summing any values.
I have been able to write a select that works using solution from this page
SELECT
id,
GROUP_CONCAT(if(colID = 1, value, NULL)) AS 'First Name',
GROUP_CONCAT(if(colID = 2, value, NULL)) AS 'Last Name',
GROUP_CONCAT(if(colID = 3, value, NULL)) AS 'Job Title'
FROM tbl
GROUP BY id;
However, I want to omit rows that have the value
to be null
I assume you want to drop the result row if any of the source rows has value IS NULL
.
You should be able to achieve that with bit_and() in the HAVING
clause:
SELECT id
, max(CASE WHEN colID = 1 THEN value END) AS fn
, max(CASE WHEN colID = 2 THEN value END) AS ln
, max(CASE WHEN colID = 3 THEN value END) AS jt
FROM tbl
GROUP BY id
HAVING bit_and(value IS NOT NULL);
Alternative:
...
HAVING count(*) = count(value);
I didn't spell out ELSE NULL
in the CASE statements because (per documentation):
If there was no matching result value, the result after
ELSE
is returned, orNULL
if there is noELSE
part.
