A function that gives you the row number of a cell as a number without using a workaround.

Yes. I can see the need for this in a few of my automations/formulas.
This would be great for making conditional formatting for highlighting alternate rows or alternating groups of rows.
I strongly support this enhancement. Also wanted to put the workaround out there for anyone looking for it.
Using the auto number column you can achieve this.
lets say the auto number column is named AutoNumber, and the row number column is named Row
In your helper column you would put =MATCH(AutoNumber@row, AutoNumber:AutoNumber, 0), and make it a column formula.
This would give you the row number at all times after you save.
I want to be able to refer to the actual row number within a given sheet, as a value in a formula. This could be by utilizing a formula like "=@row", which would use the native row number and display that value.
Many people ask for this same need to reference a Sheet's row number for a formula which already shows within the Sheet, without having to add an extra column that also auto-increments.
Yes, however if the meaning of the number is something like, "Priority", anyone viewing the sheet will not infer that from the sheet itself as the number shown by default has no column heading.
I'd like to reference a row number as text, since the row can move around, e.g., "Please see row 123 for example", where 123 changes if the row moves on the sheet. I use cell addresses in Excel for same purpose.
I have a workflow with nearly 40 automations, half of which are email-based requests for updates with various sets of triggers. While I know the automations work, due to months of testing, when our system went live to the institution, I became very worried that the automations wouldn't run and I'd have no idea whether or…
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
I am proposing bringing a bit of pizzazz to Smartsheet by having celebratory animations for certain criteria. Think Joyful Animations in Outlook! My team was hoping to have some sort of confetti pop/gif/image when we close out a project or hit a milestone. Bonus points if it is configurable like the automations are.
