I have a set of codes that will appear on multiple rows. How can I number their occurrences?

Ex: take

CODE1
CODE2
CODE3

and make

CodeSeq
CODE10
CODE11
CODE12
CODE20
CODE21
CODE22
CODE30
CODE31
CODE32

Hi, @alexlyle 

 

Try this.

Leverage Multi-Row Formula Tool to auto generate Sequence for every group of Code (i.e. Code1, Code2, etc.,)

 

Please mark as solution + like, if this works for you.

Don't forget the sometimes-overlooked Tile Tool.  This is useful for automatically providing a sequence number without having to use the Multi-row Formula Tool.  If you configure the tool for Tile Method "Unique Value", then there will be a sequence number for all records that have the same value.  The sequence will be output in a new field named "Tile_SequenceNum".
