GENERATE_SERIES() has a "little" problem for me. I generate shedloads of test data and the following problem means that I'll not be giving up the fnTally function any time soon because I'm sure they'll never fix it.

As for them finally fixing the STRING_SPLIT() function to return the element position ordinals, I'm tickled that they finally got around to it but I cannot believe it took them 3 releases over 6 years to do so. 😉

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.
