Hi Experts😀,
I want to have a dyanamic index column based on recieving time of current day.

Hi insandur
If you only have one day's data in this table every day, you can change the "Received Time" column to Datetime type, sort table by "Received Time" column ascendingly, then add an Index column starting from 1.
