BOM table using letter balloons.
STEP 1) You will need to add the a relation in your BOM table:
We needed to omit several characters such as G, I, O, Q, U, V and Z
letters = "ABCDEFHJKLMNPRSTWY"
if (rpt_index > 18)
letters = "ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ"
index1 = floor ((rpt_index-1)/18)
index2 = rpt_index-index1*18
index1a = extract (letters,index1,1)
index2a = extract (letters,index2,1)
index= index1a + index2a
else
index= extract (letters,rpt_index,1)
endif
STEP 2) Once you have the relation working, you'll need to create a custom symbol with variable text using the \rpt.rel.index\
