Expression Request: ROW()
« on: June 15, 2014, 02:14:35 am »

One thing I keep wanting to do, but can never find a solution for (and I believe there is currently no solution available) is the ability to show the view row number in my views.

I'm thinking of, for instance, views that represent charts, where I simply want to put a chart number at the front of every row to identify the row's position in the chart.

A simple ROW() expression would solve this and would elevate any number of my views to the "next level".

Some views, eg Playing Now, have the Seq column which performs the exact function, but it's not available to the user for our own views.

So, could we please please please get an expression ROW() (or SEQ()!) that does just this, shows the numerical ascending row number?

Try "CustomData(#)". I believe it should give you what you want.

That only works in file panes though?  I want the same, but in the main view pane...
