.... and difference between Row no(), Auto number()

Counters in the Load

Sometimes (when you have a large number of unique long string values) autonumber is used to reduce the RAM used by QlikView

Hi,

Autonumber function returns a different number for each value of the field, regardless of the table that you are. That is, for the value A in the X table and the table, the function will return 1.

Regards!
