Hi All,

I have one datablock displaying multiple records and i have two summary items Current_record and Total_record at the end of block to display total number of records.

Suppose there are total 10 records and i have select third records in displyed datablock in current_record there should be value 3 and in total_record
there should be value 10.

For total_records i have achieved functionality by
get_block_property('block Name', query_hits)

and for current_record i have achieved this by :system.cursor_record;
But i have one problem that my data is duplicate
suppose there are 5 records in department 10 i want only count=1 for these 5 records because these all represent to one department.

when i click at any records of block current_record field should also be populated according to distinct record count but presently i am getting it only as per total number of records displayed without considering the distinct records.

can any one help me on this?

Best Regards,
Muhammad Afzaal.

It seems that you'll have to (manually) find number of records you are interested in, such as

select count(*) -- or perhaps count(distinct ...)
  into :block.number_of_records
  from some_table
  where id = :block.some_id
...

Look at 'count_query', either in this forum, the reference manual, or the Forms Builder help facility.

Thanks a lot for your replies on the above in the meanwhile i found one solution for this

For total number of distinct record i have used:-
" count( distinct my_column) over ()"

and for distinct current selected record i have used:-

dense_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY my_column) rec_number,

By this way i have achieved my required functionalities.

once again thanks a lot for your replies are support.
