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 rely heavily on Smartsheet’s Document Generation. However, this workflow is currently dependent on having photos stored inside cells, since row attachments alone cannot be used directly in document generation.. If Smartsheet allowed attachments to be displayed as thumbnails in cells (as a reference), document generation…
I’d like to see user analytics for WorkApps. I’ve checked the user report available in the Collaborator Pack, but it only shows how many times someone has clicked into the WorkApp each month. I’d like to know: Which resources (dashboards, sheets, forms, etc.) are getting the most traffic? Where are people spending their…
Hi There, I would like to propose that Smartsheet considers the email subject header that is received from a Smartsheet notification from a form or sheet. Currently, because not everyone in my company has Smartsheet, let alone a Smartsheet log-in, we need to send show the name of the owner of the sheet, that appears on the…
