That is a great feature, and I know you have posted about it before, but I forgot.
It would be useful if: - the count attribute in the transformer was a drop-down - the documentation reflected this capability. This is another case where the transformer documentation is considerably less detailed than the F&F docs.

Hi Group, I answered this question through the support queue but thought it would be useful for other fme'ers to know it. There is in fact a group-by in the Counter, it is just well hidden. If you put an attribute in the Counter Name setting it will group by that attribute. So to group-by line_id set the Counter name to &line_id (the & is important to denote this is an attribute). Look in the log file and it will even give you a list showing how many of each value there were. Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
