We have a report where we have generated a "fake" number detail field formula to return a value of '1'(this is a number).

The report is grouped by invoice description for an invoice.

So at the moment the '1' previously mentioned appears as '1' obviously in each group for every detail line.

What we want is for this number to increment by '1' for each group listed.

So for the first group each detail line would return:
1
2 group 2
3 group 3
4 group 4
5 and so on

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks in advance for any info posted.

Does the built in Special Field Group Number work for you?

In Field Explorer, look at the 'Special Fields' section and select the field called 'Group Number' This is available if you have created a group in your report. If you have could. If you use that special field in your report canvas it will display the number you described. If that does not work you can create a Running Total and use it.
