If your table is already organized as on the left side, one manual procedure
would be to select for each text value and update the ID with rowid of the
selection. i.e.

Select * from your_table where TEXT="X" into Sel

Update Sel Set ID = rowid

You can write these two lines in the MapBasic window, and change only the
"text" value before rerunning them.

Or write a small MB that will do it automatically.

Good luck

1       X                                               1       X
2       X       This i woluld like to           2       X
3       X       "reshape" to:                   3       X
4       Y                                               1       Y
5       Y                                               2       Y
6       Z                                               1       Z
7       Z                                               2       Z
8       Z                                               3       Z

This is probably not a one step query.........


Any tips would be appriciated
