My class has the following attributes:

Class: Dept

Dept_Name
Dept_Emp (Matrix of one col)

Dept Name: FIN
Dept_Emp->Matrix= (Joe, Mike, Jack)

Dept_Name: HR
Dept_Emp->Matrix=(John, Jeff, Suzan)

How can I fetch only the employees names then display them regardless if there are duplicate names or not.

Hi OOzy

The content of an ezmatrix attribute is an object of type ezmatrix. Here you can see what attributes this object has: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/objects/ezmatrix

So if you matrix has only one column I think it should be sufficient to use
...data_map.dept_emp.content.cells. This should give you an array of all entries in the matrix. Then just loop over this array using foreach and you are done.
