If I have a table with the following data in MySQL:
Company CompanyEntity OrderNumber Delivery Date Deeway HS 20779 4608580 2020-11-11 Deeway Pearl HS 20780 4608580 2020-11-11 Deeway Stony HS 1273 4608558 2020-11-11 Zaper LTD 9995 4630230 2020-11-11 Zaper CP LTD 4295 4607371 2020-11-11 Wilder 4224 6630210 2020-11-11 Wilder 4224 7601371 2020-11-11
I need it to look like this:
Company CompanyEntity OrderNumber Delivery Date Deeway HS,Deeway Pearl HS,Deeway Stony HS 20779,20780,1273 4608580,4608558 2020-11-11 Zaper LTD,Zaper CP LTD 9995,4295 4630230,4607371 2020-11-11 Wilder 4224 6630210,7601371 2020-11-11
I’ve tried:
SELECT nextgenorder_companyname, nextgenorder_company_entity, nextgenorder_ordernumber, nextgenorder_deliverydate FROM nextgenorders2 WHERE nextgenorder_deliverydate='2020-11-11' GROUP BY nextgenorder_companyname,nextgenorder_company_entity ORDER BY nextgenorder_companyname
Which does not give me the results I want. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Answer
You need to use GROUP_CONCAT
to aggregate your values, and based on your sample data you want to group by the first word in the name, so you can use SUBSTRING_INDEX
to extract that. To deal with possible /
in the name as a separator instead of space, you can REPLACE
them:
SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT nextgenorder_companyname) AS Company, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT nextgenorder_company_entity) AS CompanyEntity, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT nextgenorder_ordernumber) AS OrderNumber, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT nextgenorder_deliverydate) AS `Delivery Date` FROM nextgenorders2 WHERE nextgenorder_deliverydate='2020-11-11' GROUP BY SUBSTRING_INDEX(REPLACE(nextgenorder_companyname, '/', ' '), ' ',1) ORDER BY SUBSTRING_INDEX(REPLACE(nextgenorder_companyname, '/', ' '), ' ',1)
Output:
Company CompanyEntity OrderNumber Delivery Date Deeway HS,Deeway Pearl HS,Deeway Stony HS 20779,20780,1273 4608580,4608558 2020-11-11 Wilder 4224 6630210,7601371 2020-11-11 Zaper/LTD,Zaper CP LTD 9995,4295 4630230,4607371 2020-11-11
