    The help would be very helpful to me.

    Thanks,

  • Your sample data do not really match your verbal description.

    First set of data:

    You're describing repeated data in one column.

    But your sample contains duplicate values in 4 columns (LOGINNAME, SHIFTID, ISLATE LOGIN, HOURS WORKED).

    Second set of data:

    Requirement: "...to display the repeated column values only once ..."

    But the data you're showing have nothing to do with the sample data you've been talking about before.

    In order to be able to help you you need to provide us with consistent information so we are able to help you.

    Please follow the link in my signature on how to provide sample data and make sure your expected result is based on the sample data.

  • My requirement is for first column values only. No problem if other columns having duplicate data.

    Thank You.

  • May I kindly ask you to reread my previous post with focus on my last two statements?

    Regarding your reply:

    There is no way to come up with login names like MNT or CSS based on your sample data.

    There is no business rule on which row has to be selected. Why not

    DDN MNT 8/7/2009 9:33 8/7/2009 18:43 YES 9:11:15 instead of

    DDN MNT 8/4/2009 9:41 8/4/2009 18:51 YES 9:11:15 ??

    You need to help us help you.

    With proper sample data and requirement description your issue would have been resolved since several hours...
