repeat region filter multiple instances of same part in assembly

[SD_14219997]

hello all,

i am using the simple repeat region method to create a family table in my assembly drawing.

because of this i am using filters such as "&fam.inst.param.name == xxxxx"

however, in my assembly, i have the same part file copy pasted 4 times (they make a square within my assy) and each instance of the assy has different instances of that part file.

ex:

assy-1 has part-A, part-B, part-A, part-B

assy-2 has part-C, part-D, part-C, part-D

assy-3 has part-E, part-F, part-E, part-F

assy-4 has part-G, part-H, part-G, part-H

so if you notice, they have basically a top/bottom and side/side of the square for each assy instance.

when i use the 2-d family table it comes out correct, looking like the example but in table form, but i want to use the simple table because i want to change the top row names.

when i apply the filter like always, because the part file is named the same for all instances possible, i end up getting ALL 16 of the part instances for each component instance of the part within the assembly

so it ends up looking like:

assy-1 has part-A, part-A, part-A, part-A

assy-2 has part-B, part-B, part-B, part-B

assy-3 has part-A, part-A, part-A, part-A

assy-4 has part-B, part-B, part-B, part-B

                     part-C, part-C, part-C, part-C

                     part-D, part-D, part-D, part-D

                     part-C, part-C, part-C, part-C

                     part-D, part-D, part-D, part-D

                     part-E, part-E, part-E, part-E

                     part-F, part-F, part-F, part-F

                     part-E, part-E, part-E, part-E

                     part-F, part-F, part-F, part-F

                     part-G, part-G, part-G, part-G

                     part-H, part-H, part-H, part-H

                     part-G, part-G, part-G, part-G

                     part-H, part-H, part-H, part-H

i get all these extra rows of no assy nubmer but it has part instances.

i am hoping there is some kind of filter expression i can add to my already existing filter to further...well...filter my columns.

i hope this explanation makes sense, i am happy to share more if needed, i just cant post any screenshots of my work directly

figured it out.

all i needed was an extra filter

&fam.inst.param.value == *HOR*

In my case, the ones I wanted were all labeled with HOR or VER at the end so I was able to filter by those keywords using the asterisk wildcards
