Columns needed after Aggregate Function

Question

Hi All

I have flat file of financial data that is on a .csv file.

I have had to group the data by: CompanyID, EmployeeID and JournalAccount using the aggregate function. I am using the sum on Journal Net of Total Adjusted Reclaim Tax and Report Entry Tax Reclaim Trans Adjusted Amount

That is working great but I have a number of other columns I need to output to the export file, but it seems when using an aggregate function, you are limited to just those columns, which means I cannot do a corrected output file.

Initial Import File:
Employee ID
Company
Lakeview Journal
CORP C/CARD
Journal Account Code
Report Name
Journal Net of Total Adjusted Reclaim Tax
Report Entry Tax Reclaim Trans Adjusted Amount
Report Entry Expense Type Name
Report Entry Description

After the aggregate, the only columns I can output are:
EmployeeID
Company
JournalAccount
Journal Net of Total Adjusted Reclaim Tax
Report Entry Tax Reclaim Trans Adjusted Amount

Answer 1

I resolved the issue by moving the data in to a SQL table, and then manipulated the data as required and pushed it to a flat file.

Thank you for the help.

Answer 2

Hi @neilsja ,

Why not add the other data columns first and then use Aggregate Transformation.

Do a merge join post aggregation to bring the other columns back in
