Row number fuction

ECRCalexandra

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.
