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.

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.
Although we are extremely proficient when it comes to reducing load on our smartsheets (we use pivot, data mesh and data shuttle extensively), we still find ourselves hitting capacity limits (mostly because of the number of columns in conjunction with some pretty complex formulas). Breaking up data between sheets and…
As the smartsheet admin for Europe, it would be extremely helpful to be able to view all Automations / recurring emailed reports in one place as opposed to sheet level. It's almost impossible to ensure everything is working correctly / delete recurring emailed reports without this.
It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to manually assign colors to individual projects within the Timeline View. Currently, project colors are automatically determined by the Dashboard Theme, which limits flexibility and makes it challenging to visually differentiate projects in a meaningful way. Allowing…
