droznick Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 is there a way to count the number of a certain letter in a repeating field without specifying each occurance in the calculation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Try: patterncount(list(RepeatingField);letter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droznick Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 i read more on the list function,, it really is a powerful and useful function,, it is now in my filemaker permanent tool kit,, thanks so much,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Note that the context of the list() is different if the source is a non-repeating field, and different if the source is a related field. Also, it is not available in versions prior to FM8.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
