Calculation Field (Copy & Add Suffix)

Hi,

I have a number field named AddendumNum. I want to build a calculation field named MultiAddendum that will copy the AddendumNum and add a suffix with numbers in a series for each new record with that AddendumNum.

Example:

AddendumNum

04-03b

04-03b

04-03b

MultiAddendum

04-03b1 -- record 1

04-03b2 -- record 2

04-03b3 -- record 3

Thanks in advance!

Adele

Adele,

You need to first create a self relationship based on AddendumNum. Next create a number field called something like MultiNum. Then create/add to your script that creates new records that would include the following step

Set Field[MultiNum, Max (Self_AddendumNum::MultiNum) + 1]

Then have a calculation field MultiAddendum = AddendumNum&MultiNum.

HTH, Mike
