<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve always used NUM.VALUES for a multi-valued field, but
can DOWNLOAD extract data (like CRS.DESC) as one column including all the lines
of text? I can do this in Querybuilder using reformat and I’ve never
investigated whether DOWNLOAD could do the same. If so this could be very
useful…is this possible and if so, how? Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
