Line Numbers in Table

Sorry but new to RS and need to have each detail line in a table to be
numbered. Can somebody please help me with some code or point me in the
right direction. Not totally sure if it's done via expression or not.Try using the Function Rownumber.

Line Numbers in SQL

Is there a function I can put into my select clause that tell me what the
line number of the row is?
i.e. in Oracle you can do something like (Been a year since I've used
Oracle)
select rownum, Field1, Field2
from blah
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.No, you could do something with a temp table and IDENTITY. I believe Yukon
has the rownumber function. What do you need it for?

That is what I'm looking up in that newsgroup. I can find the reporting

I use NNTP and searched and found it, this is the excerpt: (See below)
You will need to add an expression the outer most row grouping on the
matrix.
The attached sample report demonstrates how to do this.
Key Areas:
* Matrix Properties Dialog : Groups Tab : Country Group has an expression
on it
that controls the number of rows:
=System.Math.Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/5)
* Place a PageBreakAtEnd on the Matrix Properties Dialog : Groups Tab :
Country Group.
NOTE: There is a bug on this dialog in RTM version. The checkboxes to
set
PageBreakAt[Start | End] are missing. You will need to hand edit the RDL
to get this
to work. Before proceeding backup your RDL. The code snippet shows where
the
PageBreakAtEnd tag was added to the RDL:
<Grouping Name="matrix1_Country">
<GroupExpressions>
<GroupExpression>=System.Math.Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/5)</GroupExpression
>
</GroupExpressions>
<PageBreakAtEnd>true</PageBreakAtEnd> <<<<<< Tag added
here.
</Grouping>

Line numbers in Report Builder

I have a report in which the user community would like line numbers associated with each row. Has anyone done this or have any ideas how to accomplish this?

Line Item Manufacturer
1 Mazda
2 Ford
3 BMW

ThanksThis seems like something you want to do in the sql query rather than the report. Not sure, exactly how...|||Since you drag elements into the design area and Report Builder is not based on a query, there is no way to create line item numbers within Report Builder.

Is that what you are saying?|||Hi,

You can use RunningValue function as the text value of the line number column.

If you want a numbering for rows within a dataset, you can use

=RunningValue(1, SUM, "Employees")

where Employees is the dataset name.

If you have groups in your reports, say one of the groups has a name "EmployeesByCity", then you can replace the last part of the RunningValue with this group name shown as below

=RunningValue(1, SUM, "EmployeesByCity")

You can check the below link for a sample

http://www.kodyaz.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=40

Eralper|||Thank you for your assistance. "RunningValue" is not available in Report Builder.|||

I've got a similar issue that RunningValue won't work for. Basically, what the business users want is a line number for each line in the report. Independant of the groupings. I believe this has to be done during the rendering of the report as it has to cross groups after all the report processing has been done. Here's a small sample of what they want it to look like.

Column A Column B Column C

1 Group 1 Header

2 Group 2 Header

3 Detail

4 Detail

5 Detail

6 Group 2 Footer

7 Group 1 Footer

The count can reset at the begging of each page, or continue, doesn't really matter. I'm trying everything I can think of.

Any ideas out there?

|||

If you add RowNumber("DSName") in the first column then it should work...

|||

Unfortunately, it's not that easy. Doing that, you get the total #f rows for each group on the group level headers. I need the count to be a straight rendered line number count and not be tied the underlying data set or grouping structure.

Line numbers in QA?

Is there a way to get line numbers into QA to determine exactly where an
error occurs? How else can this be done besides counting lines?
Thanks,

Line Number in Transact SQL

Hi,

How do you generate line numbers in Transact SQL?

Example:

In Sybase, I could use this...
select number(*), customer_name from customer_table

number(*) customer_name
----------------
1 Customer Name 1
2 Customer Name 2
3 Customer Name 3

Thanks,
GeoffOriginally posted by geoff_sy

select number=identity(int,1,1), fak.* into #temp

from (select top 100 percent customer_name from customer_table order by 1) fak

select * from #temp order by 1

drop table #temp|||I don't understant why you suggested a nested query it could more simple I think eg:

select number=identity(int,1,1), customer_name into #temp
from customer_table order by 1 -- (or any other column)
