Row ID

James_Salmon

Hi,

 

I would like to be able to return the Row ID of a given column - to use in the following formula:

=ROWID(ANCESTORS([Task Name]1))

Which should return the row ID of the first ancestor (Parent) or the current row. If there is no ancestor, I assume it would then return null or 0

Does a function such as 'ROWID' or similar exist?

 

Thanks,

 

James

Hello James,

There currently isn't a ROWID function in Smartsheet. When you have a moment, submit a Product Enhancement Request using the form under Quick links on the right to let our Product team know how you'd like to see this work in the application.

If you're looking to generate your own unique row ID, then you might consider using an Autonumber column, which you can reference in formulas: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1108408-auto-numbering-rows
