Finding the Number of duplicates

Addam
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone!

PROBLEM:

I have a database that has several duplicate names of equipment.

GOAL:

I would like to create a calculation field that tracks the number of duplicates in a FOUND SET.

HISTORY:

I've tried using: Count(Num of Equipment::Equipment Name) and this works, accept it gives me the Total duplicates in the ENTIRE database AND the wording is not exact.

example: "Incubator" & "Incubator light" are included in the calculation above.

I need to get the total number in the current found set using the "EXACT" spelling as is.

Any suggestions!?

Thanks!

Hi,

Well, you need to index each value of the fields using a calculation.

c_indexfield = Substitute(field, " ", "
