Getting the row number

[Michael_Norris]

In Excel, you can use the ROW() function to return the row number of the current cell. A feature like this in Airtable would be useful, as I have a list of events that I want to recalculate their date depending on the order that the user has the rows in. I can’t use the autonumber feature, because that doesn’t renumber when the user reorders the rows. There doesn’t appear to be any way to get Airtable to work out what the order of records is, and calculate a formula based on that.

Seeing that later replies in this thread have shifted the discussion toward a product-suggestions angle, I’m moving this to the appropriate category.

Any news regarding this functionality?

I am also looking for something like this

Yes Row Number is definitely a missing function!

[Facundo_Sanchez]

This functionality would be more than a ‘nice to have’. If Airtable proposition is to be ‘the best of both worlds’ (spreadsheets and databases), shouldn’t this feature be at least in their Roadmap?

still waiting for Row number, will be useful to sync airtable sort with external softwares

[Toby_AM]

I signed up for Airtable today, almost finished creating my Base, and now that I find that a simple row number is not accessible to the formula I’m afraid this entire incredible suite of software is not useful for my use case.
