Can anyone suggest a way to find multiple entries in repeating fields of xml input
e.g. I have five repeaated fields with values as below which I read in using a functional map.
ONE
TWO
TWO
THREE
FOUR

I can only think of using COUNTSTRING for each optional text and see if value >1 but this could get a bit long-winded for each option, the more there is.

Any other ideas how to find duplicates?

If you know the element where the duplicate can exist then do an initial unique(item:ref) and use that result to drive your countstring function.
