Load script to populate unique row numbers

Hi,

My data set looks like this.

IDCUSTCITY
ID-1CCTY-1
ID-1C-1CTY-1
ID-2C-2CTY-2
ID-3C-3CTY-3
ID-4C-3CTY-4

 

I need to write a load script that adds a row# column to this table in the following manner.

IDCUSTCITYROW#
ID-1CCTY-11
ID-1C-1CTY-12
ID-2C-2CTY-21
ID-2C-3CTY-32
ID-4C-3CTY-41

 

The ROW# grows sequentially for the same ID and then restarts for each new ID as shown in the table above.

Thanks,

Try using second parameter in autonumber() like:

Autonumber(RowNo(), ID) as Increment

Try Autonumber(ID)

thanks for the answer but this may not work for me.

it autogenerates the ID in a sequence but  I need to restart the number for a new ID the way I have shown in the second table.
