Remove Duplicates in a table

I am looking to create a table similar to the table below

 

A1
 2
 3
 4
 5
B6
 7
C8
 9
 10

 

from data that looks like this

 

A

1
A2
A3
A4
A5
B6
B7
C8
C9
C10

 

In my attached workflow, an IF statement via the Multi-Row Formula comparing one row to the row above it gives the following:

 

A1
 2
A3
 4
A5
B6
 7
C8
 9
C10

Hey @BradBaker 

 

One way to accomplish this would be to use your Multi-Row Formula tool to create a third column that is 1 if the value in your first field changes and 0 otherwise. Like this:

iif([Row-1:Field1]=[Field1],0,1)

From there, just add a normal Formula tool that says if your new field is a 0, make your original field blank and otherwise keep it the same value. Like this:

iif([New Field]=0,"",[Field1])

Hope this helps!

Thanks @Kenda .  That does work.  Still looking for something that wouldn't require a workaround - something like changing the settings in the Summarize tool, but this definitely works.
