Show current line of table

Hi,

is it possible to show the current line of a table in the first column.

For example if the table got two entries:

current lineHeader 2Header 3
1foobar
2foobar

And if the selection results in a table with 4 entries:

current lineHeader 2Header 3
1foobar
2foobar
3foobar
4foobar

I hope my question is understandable.

Any hint or sollution is very welcome.

Thanks in advance

No, it will not work, because a table box doesn't support expressions.

Create a straight table (Create new sheet object --> Charts... then select the straight table object from general tab (the one with the sum symbol))

Create your table as you like and as expression, put in

=rowno(total)

You then can drag the column with the linenumber to the left (click on the header, drag the column keepin button pressed).

See also attached (if you can open other's qvw).

You are talking of chart table objects, right?

You can create an expression in a straight table chart

=rowno(total)

and then drag the column to the left.

Thank you for your response!

I added following line in the script:

     RowNo() as Row

No I´ve got a number in front of every row.

But that numbers are static. For example if I select one product name (Artikelname) and limit the shown data, the original "row number" is shown.

Is it posible to get a dynamic row number so it would look like this:

Header 1Header 2
RowArtikelname
1PLE80-100
2PLE80-100
3PLE80-100
4PLE80-100
5PLE80-100
6PLE80-100

I hope what i write does make sense to you and again thanks for the replies

Hm, yes I think that it is possible, have you tried my original suggestion to create an expression in the chart and not a field in the script?

Can you explain, what exactly you mean? Because I am at the moment a qlikview rookie.

I use a table box. Is it possible that your suggestion doesn´t work with that?

hi, would you know how to number the lines, if I display in a straight table, lets say top 5 values.

To get the top 5, I adjust the sort priority to first sort "Value" descending, then check the "Max Number" on the Presentation tab.

I want to show something like

PositionValue
1100
290
385

4

80
550

my sorting always is lost when I use rowNo(Total) or similar.

Any ideas?

Yes, sorting on y-values in charts or sorting by expression columns in straight tables is not allowed when Chart Inter Record (like rowno() ) functions are used in any of the chart's expressions.

But for a position by value or rank by value you can try

=rank(sum(Value))
