Hi.
I m doing a crystal report.
Lets say i have a serial numbers in a column:
| Serial Number |
124000100,124000101,124000102,124000103,124000104,

I wan the values to be something like this in the crystal report view
| Serial Number |
<124000>
100,101,102,103,104

means that the same value infront is grouped,categorized under one duplicate value.

How may i do this?
Any ideas guys?

You need to get the part of Serial Number in column1 and the last 3 signs in column2.
I don't know which database you use. In MS Access or in MS SQL Server you can "ask" your database like this:

SELECT Left([Serial Number],6) As FPartSN, Right([Serial Number],3) As LPartSN
FROM TABLE1;

where TABLE1 is the name of your table.

It whould help you to group duplicated values.
