Question

I have a datatable that holds data as such:

Date OperationA OperationB OperationC

Today    5
Today               6
Today                          7

Now, I want this to look like:

Date OperationA OperationB OperationC

Today    5          6          7

I’ve had a look at the LINQ Group by clause, but that seems to seperate the data that is being grouped and doesn’t keep it within the collection – althought as a LINQ novice, I may be missing something.

Could somebody please advise.

Thanks.

Answer 1

class Operation
{
    public DateTime Date { get; set; }
    public int OperationA { get; set; }
    public int OperationB { get; set; }
    public int OperationC { get; set; }
}

var operations = LoadData();
var result = operations.GroupBy(o => o.Date)
                   .Select(g => new Operation
                    {
                        Date = g.Key,
                        OperationA = g.Sum(o => o.OperationA),
                        OperationB = g.Sum(o => o.OperationB),
                        OperationC = g.Sum(o => o.OperationC)
                    });

P.S: You DB design looks weird. I think the table should look like this:

Date       Operation     Type
2010-1-1      5           A
2010-1-1      6           B
2010-1-1      7           C
