Hello everyone, I created a table with sports outings in the data, but I don’t know how to get a column with a number that increments (1, 2, 3, 4) each time a row is filled (representing the number of outings). Thank you for your help! ---

Typically, there are two distinct use cases when it comes to auto-incrementing row numbers. Use Case 1: – We need to generate a Part Number, or an Order Number, or an Employee ID. Once the number is generated, it should never change, even if rows are deleted. – The general approach for this use case is to maintain a static counter, use it to craft a suitably formatted ID, and increment it by one every time… Another option would be to use a Rollup column.
