# Get Row Number

### Overview

This procedure retrieves the row number of a specific row in a table. It's useful when you need to locate the position of a row for further operations like updating, deleting, or referencing data.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Table rows are numbered starting with the number 1.
{% endhint %}

### Input Concepts

| Concept | Type        | Description                                  | Default    | Required |
| ------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------- |
| `row`   | table's row | The row whose row number is to be retrieved. | No default | Yes      |

### Output Concepts

| Concept      | Description            |
| ------------ | ---------------------- |
| `row number` | The number of the row. |

### Examples

#### 1. Get the Row Number in a Sample Table

In this example, `the table` refers to the following table, which can be generated using the `create a sample table` procedure:

| Name | Number             | Address          | City          |
| ---- | ------------------ | ---------------- | ------------- |
| john | + 1 (415) 691 9426 | 123 east street  | San Francisco |
| joe  | + 1 (415) 691 1234 | 321 west street  | San Jose      |
| jack | + 1 (415) 691 4595 | 213 north street | San Francisco |

Here `the row` refers to the first row:

| Name | Number             | Address         | City          |
| ---- | ------------------ | --------------- | ------------- |
| john | + 1 (415) 691 9426 | 123 east street | San Francisco |

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Automation" %}

```
create a sample table
get the table's row where
    the row selection formula is "Name == john"
get the row's row number
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Results" %}
0
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kognitos.com/legacy/legacy-experience/automation-areas/tables-v2/get-rows/get-row-number.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
