# RowNo - script function

This function returns an integer for the position of the current row in the resulting QlikView internal table. The first row is number 1.

Syntax:

RowNo( [TOTAL])

In contrast to RecNo( ), which counts the records in the raw data table, the RowNo( ) function does not count records that are excluded by where clauses and is not reset when a raw data table is concatenated to another.

Information noteIf you use preceding load, that is, a number of stacked LOAD statements reading from the same table, you can only use RowNo( ) in the top LOAD statement. If you use RowNo( ) in subsequent LOAD statements, 0 is returned.

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

| 1 | aa | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | ee | 3 | 2 |
