    Thanks, Barry... I've never heard of anyone else calling such aggregations a "Tally Table", but I certainly can see where the term both applies and is convenient.

    Just to throw another name into the mix, I've heard some people call what I'm calling a "Tally" table, an "Index" table, which also seems appropriate considering its use. They even used the letter "i" for the column name instead of "N".

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
