I have a fairly simple scenario. I have a list of source hosts, ports, and destination hosts for firewalls. Right now, it's in an Excel spreadsheet as such:
HOST001 80 HOST002 HOST001 443 HOST002 HOST001 8080 HOST002 HOST001 80 HOST003 HOST001 8080 HOST003 HOST002 443 HOST001 HOST002 8080 HOST001 HOST002 8080 HOST003 HOST002 443 HOST003 HOST003 443 HOST001 HOST003 8080 HOST002
Notice that there is a many-to-many relationship, here. If I pull this into a non-normalized table in SAS, I can right click the table, click "Explore Data," use a pivot table, and format the data to show source vs destination hosts and the open ports between them (without an aggregate function):
Destination Source HOST001 HOST002 HOST003 HOST001 80 80 443 8080 8080 HOST002 443 8080 8080 443 HOST003 443 8080
Instead of using a SUM, COUNT, or other function on the port data, it displays all values. SAS does this. So why, WHY can I not do something similar like this in SSRS or even Excel??? When I export the SAS pivot table to Excel, it applies a SUM and goofs up my data. Is there any way to do this the way I want?
Many thanks!!!
