# RecNo - script function

This script function returns an integer for the number of the currently read row of the current table. The first record is number 1.

Syntax:

RecNo( )

In contrast to RowNo( ), which counts rows in the resulting QlikView table, RecNo( ), counts the records in the raw data table and is reset when a raw data table is concatenated to another.

Example: Load script

Raw data table load:

```
Tab1:
LOAD * INLINE
[A, B
1, aa
2,cc
3,ee];

Tab2:
LOAD * INLINE
[C, D
5, xx
4,yy
6,zz];
```

```
 
```

Loading record and row numbers for selected rows:

`QTab:` ` LOAD *,  ` `  
 RecNo( ),  ` ` RowNo( )  ` `resident Tab1 where A<>2;` ` ` ` LOAD  ` ` C as A,  ` ` D as B, 
  ` ` RecNo( ),  ` ` RowNo( )  ` `resident Tab2 where A<>5;` ` ` `//We don't need the source tables anymore, so we drop them` `Drop tables Tab1, Tab2;`

The resulting QlikView internal table:

Results table

| A | B | RecNo(<br>) | RowNo(<br>) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | aa | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | ee | 3 | 2 |
| 4 | yy | 2 | 3 |
| 6 | zz | 3 | 4 |
