Hi, 

I was trying to use of ROW_NUMBER() functions by creating a view as showing below:

The view shows Row number as irregular . What it should have to ?

    What's the code of your test() method? What if you actually sort the result by RowNum?

    Public static server str test()
{
    return 'ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY InvoiceAccount)';
}

    this is the test() code , Martin.

    It's because you generate ROW_NUMBER() across all companies but then you see data just for the current company.

    It seems you actually want something like this:

    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY Partition, DataAreaId ORDER BY InvoiceAccount)


    Of course, you shouldn't use field names hard-coded as text in production code and you should add table identifier, so it works even if the query consists of several tables.

    Many Thanks Martin, I don't understand one thing why we put all code inside '' . I tested by removing the '' , now its giving me error :The method ROW_NUMBER has not been declared.

    It's not X++ code at all; it surely can't compile.

    You said in the other thread that you understand computed columns, but let me repeat what they are. The method returns a piece of T-SQL code as string (usually not written directly as in the example but using helper methods such as DictView.computedColumnString()). This string is then inserted into the view definition and interpreted by SQL Server.
