Dear users, I have this problem I have a table where there are 20 columns named vinc1, vinc2, vinc3, vinc4, etc....
the values contained into each column are simply 1 or 0 (each column is dichotomic) 1 means presence 0 means absence I would obtain a column (new_column) containg the name of the columns, comma separated, where the value is = 1 for example: vinc1 vinc2 vinc3 vinc4 new_column 1 0 1 0 vinc1,vinc3 0 0 0 1 vinc4 0 1 1 1 vinc2,vinc3,vinc4 can someone help me to find the best way to obtain this result??? thank you very much Ivan -- Ivan Marchesini Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Perugia Via G.
