Hi
I would like to know if it's possible to do something like that.
I have a report that print some field about an item that is ordered. What I would like to do is to print this report the number of time that the Qty_shipped is
For example I have the Item A with the quantity 4
I would like to print the same report with the same value but 4 times.
Can I do a formulas that allow me to do this?
Thanks in advance

Any other idea?
I checked the fact but...I'm not sure I want to use this approach. Maybe I just don't understand the fact right..
 
A brute force method, but it may wotk if the number of copies is not too big and its upper limit is known (say, never more then 10).
Create multiple sections -- a, b, c, ... and insert the report you need to repeat as subreport into each section. Then conditionally suppress section based on the number of repetitions. Example: section c is suppressed if Qty_shipped<3.
