	I have string data set. The data set includes entries such as 103 105A; 105B; etc. I need to show each set of data that shares the same first number on the same row. I also need to sort by another field entirely. Any thoughts?

	In details I am displaying the field {EventStrings.EvStrName} On the same row in details I have a formula named "AM Routes" if (Right({EventStrings.EvStrName},1)="B") then {EventStrings.EvStrName} else "" When {EventStrings.EvStrName} displays a result that ends with an "A" such as 103A to the left of this I need to display the result from {EventStrings.EvStrName} that has the same first three numbers but ends with a "B" such as 103B. There are also additional results in {EventStrings.EvStrName} that will have neither an A or B such as 101 that needs to be displayed. The results should appear as follows: 154 101 103A 103B 102 110A 110B

	Hi Edit the existing formula to if (Right({Table_EVT.EVENTSTR},1)="A") then Next{Table_EVT.EVENTSTR}) else "" then in the original field right click Select Format Field then in common tab check x+2 button against suppress and enter the code below Right({EventStrings.EvStrName},1)="B") once done right click the details section and select section expert then in common tab of section expert Check the box Suppress Blank Section Cheers Rahul

	Thanks, this works but only if records are sorted by the original field of {EventStrings.EvStrName}. I however, have to sort by a different field {Events.schTime} which is a time field. So the results of {EventStrings.EvStrName} do not display in numeric order and the "B" result will not follow the "A" unit when sorted by time.

	Hi Build the sql as below T -Parent Table TC-Child Table SELECT T.EVENTTIME, TC.EVENTTIME, T.EVENTSTR, TC.EVENTSTR FROM TABLE_EVT T LEFT JOIN TABLE_EVT tc ON substring(T.EVENTSTR,1,3) = substring(TC.eventstr,1,3) and right(tc.eventstr,1) like '%B' WHERE right(t.eventstr,1) NOT LIKE '%B' T.TIME TC.TIME T TC 2008-11-05 09:00:01.000 NULL 154 NULL 2008-11-04 08:09:13.000 NULL 101 NULL 2008-11-01 05:12:08.000 2008-11-10 05:04:00.000 103A 103B 2008-05-02 07:00:00.000 NULL 102 NULL 2008-11-02 08:09:00.000 2008-12-06 05:00:00.000 110A 110B Cheers Rahul
