Returns the current row's index in a serialized row set.

The row index starts by default at 1 for the first row, and is incremented by 1 for each additional row. Optionally, the row index can start at a different value than 1. Additionally, the row index may be reset according to some provided predicate.

Syntax

row_number( [StartingIndex [, Restart]] )

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
StartingIndex long The value of the row index to start at or restart to. The default value is 1.
restart bool Indicates when the numbering is to be restarted to the StartingIndex value. The default is false.

Returns

The function returns the row index of the current row as a value of type long.

Examples

The following example returns a table with two columns, the first column (a) with numbers from 10 down to 1, and the second column (rn) with numbers from 1 up to 10:

range a from 1 to 10 step 1
| sort by a desc
| extend rn=row_number()

The following example is similar to the above, only the second column (rn) starts at 7:

range a from 1 to 10 step 1
| sort by a desc
| extend rn=row_number(7)

The last example shows how one can partition the data and number the rows per each partition. Here, we partition the data by Airport:

datatable (Airport:string, Airline:string, Departures:long)
[
  "TLV", "LH", 1,
  "TLV", "LY", 100,
  "SEA", "LH", 1,
  "SEA", "BA", 2,
  "SEA", "LY", 0
]
| sort by Airport asc, Departures desc
| extend Rank=row_number(1, prev(Airport) != Airport)

Running this query produces the following result:

Airport Airline Departures Rank
SEA BA 2 1
SEA LH 1 2
SEA LY 0 3
TLV LY 100 1
TLV LH 1 2
