Given two tables, Table A and table B. Table B may contain duplicate values of those in table B. I want to COPUNBT the number of these duplicates before joining B with A, using DISCRETE, so that the final table contains no duplicates. But I must know how many duplicates there wer...for future editing.
I.e. Table A: a b c d e f
I.e. Table B: x a e b y
Final table: a b c d e f x y
and there are 2 values of a, two of b, and two of e.
At a later time I might have Table C: a l m b n o
Final table will be: a b c d e f l m n o,
withy a record now of: Three of a, three of b, and two of e.
(If I counted right)!
