Hi,
I have been asked to create a report with a feature that i am not sure how to achieve.

we are reporting on position codes and often there is more than one employee using the same position code as another.

I have been asked to auto increment any position code which appears more than once.

so: pos code ERT001 initially - then any further incidents of ERT001 are marked as ERT001/1, ERT001/2, ERT001/3 etc.

Any thoughts on how I can achieve this?

Thanks
Sam

Either gather the data via a stored proc, which would allow you to change the value

or

group by the position code and then you could use a formula (or a group of them)
in the group header:
shared booleanvar addend:=false;
shared numbervar ending:=0;
if count({table.positionCode}) > 1 then addend:=true;
addend;
""//hide the random true

in the detail section for the group code:
shared booleanvar addend;
shared numbervar ending;
if addend then (
ending := ending + 1;
{table.positionCode} + "/" + totext(ending,"",0);
)
else
{table.positionCode}

one of these should do it for you....
