IEtlPlainDataProvider.UnpivotMode

Syntax

UnpivotMode: Boolean;

Description

The UnpivotMode property determines whether data is imported in the crosstab mode.

Comments

Crosstab is a method of data presentation, at which information about various factors is located in headers of rows and columns, and actual data is located in row and column cells.

Available values:

True. Data is imported in the crosstab mode. To determine parameters of crosstab data identification and specify the data source, in which data is presented in the cross mode, use the IEtlPlainDataProvider.UnpivotProvider property.
False. Data is imported from the source specified in the IEtlPlainDataProvider.Provider property.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an ETL task with the ETL_Task identifier. The file system contains a Microsoft Excel file named Data.xlsx, the file data is presented in the crosstab mode.

Example of file

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    ETLTask: IEtlTask;
    ETLProvider: IEtlPlainDataProvider;
    UnpivotProvider: IDtUnpivotProvider;
    ExcelProviderEx: IDtExcelProviderEx;
    WxProvider: IWxRectangle;
    WxETLProvider: IWxETLObject;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    ETLTask := MB.ItemById("ETL_Task").Edit As IEtlTask;
     //Create a new data source
    ETLProvider := ETLTask.Create(EtlObjectType.PlainDataExcelProviderEx) As IEtlPlainDataProvider;
    ETLProvider := ETLProvider.Edit;

     //Crosstab mode
    ETLProvider.UnpivotMode := True;
     //Specify data source, from which import will be used
    ExcelProviderEx := ETLProvider.Provider As IDtExcelProviderEx;
    ExcelProviderEx.File := "c:\data.xlsx";
    ExcelProviderEx.Sheet := "Sheet1";
    ExcelProviderEx.HasHeader := False;
    ExcelProviderEx.Format := "XLSX";
     //Set up crosstab parameters
    UnpivotProvider := ETLProvider.UnpivotProvider;
    UnpivotProvider.DataBottom := 5;
    UnpivotProvider.DataWidth := 5;
    UnpivotProvider.DataRight := 11;

    UnpivotProvider.DataTop := 1;
    UnpivotProvider.HeadTop := 0;
    UnpivotProvider.HeadBottom := 0;
    UnpivotProvider.HeadColumn := -1;
    UnpivotProvider.LeftBegin := 0;
    UnpivotProvider.LeftEnd := 1;
     //Save data source
    ETLProvider.FillDefault;
    ETLProvider.Save;
     //Create a visual object
    WxProvider := EtlTask.Workspace.CreateRectangle;
    WxETLProvider := New WxETLObject.Create;

    WxETLProvider.ETLObject := EtlProvider;
    WxProvider.Style.TextPosition := WxTextPosition.Bottom;
    WxProvider.Style.PictureMarginTop := -10;
    WxProvider.PinPosition := New GxPointF.Create(50, 50);
    WxProvider.Extension := WxETLProvider As IWxShapeExtension;
     //Save task
    (ETLTask As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

On executing the example a new data loader is created in the ETL task from Microsoft Excel file. Parameters required to import data in the crosstab mode are set up for the object.
