Hi, Is is possible to use an sql statement(s) to count and number duplicates? The original table looks something like this, showing an excerpt where there are three entries for one date:
Mdate            Vs
05/28/2013     v1
05/28/2013     v1
05/28/2013     v1
The following is a start in that it will give me a table that shows how many duplicates exist for each date.
SELECT mdate,COUNT(mdate) FROM ch5 ;
    INTO TABLE dups;
    GROUP BY mdate ;
    HAVING COUNT(mdate) > 1
Here is a part of the report that the above produces:
mdate         cnt_mdate
05/28/2013   3
08/28/2013   2
And by using set relationship and a do while loop, I can count and label the duplicates. But I was just wondering if an SQL statement(s) could do it all? The final output that I need is::
Mdate            cnt/date    Vs
05/28/2013     1              v1
05/28/2013     2
05/28/2013     3
Thanks,
Steve
