Hi vickyd,
I have a table with list of accounts and multiple metrics associated to the Account. I'd like to have a running number that shows up as a 1st column in the table. Depending on whatever metric I sort by or even if I sort by Account name itself, the serial number column should always just show 1,2,3,4,5... Just need a way for user to visually identify the count when they are looking at a list.
Based on my experience, I don't think there is a way to add such a Serial Row Number Column which won't be influenced by the sort order of any columns in the Table visual currently.
Here is a similar idea shared on Power BI Ideas forum. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature. :smileyhappy:
