Sub item [message #1101521]

I have a demand for a report and I am lost on some possible ways to solve the problem (in the query, the dataset or grid after already rendered).
Here's the problem:
I have a report where there is a column that is the index and can be repeated, but when there is a repeat, I have to create a kind of sub item. In this example the SALESREPEMPLOYEENUMBER was purposely placed as an index. In the first 6 tags 1165 should turn
1165
1165.1
1165.2
1165.3
1165.4
1165.5

Any solution? Very Happy

From the looks of it, this could be done with a computed column in the dataSet, with a new binding in your table, or in a dynamic textbox. You'd just need to store the last value in a variable and check the current value against it. If they're the same, you'd add your sub-count value which could also be stored and managed in a variable.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need an example.

I understood your help but yes, I need an example, mainly using the attached report. This report presents a peculiarity, so I'm struggling to apply what you have proposed. This report is used to print labels in tabular form, 3 per line and when complete this line jumps to next. Are three independent tables.
Very Happy

Take a look at this. Does this not do what you're wanting? Are you wanting each individual table to be numbered separately?
