Hi guys!

I would like to create a column in datagrid element which would display consecutive numbers for each row - index column (not from database collection). Is there a formula for such a case? I’ve tried to find a solution for many hours without success. Could someone please suggest how to do it? Thank you.

Add a custom column like this

Inside the dropzone in your column, place text element.

Bind the text element to the following

Hi Roberto!

Thank you so much for your engagement in my problem. That is exactly what I did as a first solution but I didn’t use a text field inside a cell and in the end I got “undefined” message in this column. Your suggestion works perfectly. Once again thank you so much.
