How to use Caption to label Table 1A, 1B then Table 2?

I want to use Caption to label tables like this:

Table 1A
Table 1B
Table 2
Table 3
Table 4A
Table 4B
etc.

I used the Caption feature and manually put in the 1 and let the caption feature take care of the A & B. However, for the next table it wants to label it Table 3 (instead of Table 2). I tried using the "Numbering" option but there it lacks a provision to "Start New Numbering" like the feature available for page numbering.

There are many tables in this report. Any suggestions much appreciated!

Explanation / Answer

(*&)() If the 1, 2, 3 and 4 refer to numbered headings in your document, you can get

Table 1.A
Table 1.B
Table 2.A
Table 3.A
Table 4.A
Table 4.B

By clicking on the Numbering button in the Caption dialog and then in Caption Numbering dialog, check the Include chapter number box and set the Format to A, B, C.

The only way to get the 2 and the 3 without the As would be to manually use cross references to the chapter numbers and an additional SEQ field for the A and B where they are required.
