Afternoon,
I'm trying to ascertain whether it is possible to add a column that displays a sequential number for each row that has a duplicate reference. For example I have a column of references where it is possible to have multiple rows. I wish to append a number to each reference based on row count number:
| Reference | Seq Row | Appended |
| 101 | 1 | 101-1 |
| 101 | 2 | 101-2 |
| 101 | 3 | 101-3 |
| 102 | 1 | 102-1 |
| 102 | 2 | 102-2 |
| 103 | 1 | 103-1 |
| 104 | 1 | 104-1 |
| 105 | 1 | 105-1 |
| 105 | 2 | 105-2 |
| 105 | 3 | 105-3 |
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

@robcrockfordYou can do this in the Query Editor
1) Group By
2) Add Custom Column {1..[Count]}
3) Expand to New Rows
4) Remove Column
5) Merge Column (Rename resulting column if you'd like)
6) Close & Apply
Hope this helps! ![]()
