if (content of cell above) == (content of current cell)
{true} else {false}

I don't know the proper syntax for "content of cell above" and "content of current cell".

That depends on what you mean by "content of cell above".
If you're in a grid, there is a syntax to refer to elements by location in the grid.
However, if you're in a Table element and you mean the corresponding cell in the Detail row above the one you're in, that would be different.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer in either case but if you clarify then someone else probably does.
