GROUP_CONCAT({item}) not working

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems like you're having trouble with the

GROUP_CONCAT({item})

function in NetSuite. This function is used to concatenate the values from a group of rows into a single string. However, it seems like you're encountering issues when trying to use it. From the first conversation, it appears that the formula you're using might be missing an

END

statement. Also, you need to ensure that you're running the column as maximum. In the second conversation, it's suggested to use the

||

operator for concatenation. This might be a workaround if you're trying to concatenate more than two values. In the third conversation, it's mentioned that

LISTAGG

isn't supported in SuiteQL, which is the query language used in NetSuite. Instead, you might be able to use a subquery to achieve your goal. However, it's also mentioned that Oracle's

CONCAT

function only accepts two strings, so passing it a subquery won't work. If you're doing this in SuiteScript, you could pull the results and flatten them. Alternatively, you could use

wm_concat

if it's available. Here's an example of how you might use a subquery:

sql
SELECT 
    transaction.customer,
    SUM(transactionlines.amount),
    (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(department) FROM transactionlines WHERE transactionlines.transaction = transaction.id) as departments
FROM
    transaction, 
    transactionlines
WHERE
    transactionlines.transaction = transaction.id
GROUP BY
    transaction.customer

Please note that this is just an example and might need to be adjusted based on your specific use case. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
