Hi all..
i have custom form with filter by date and group like this picture.
i want to add one new column for line number or row number in the left column Reksadana.
So, this result like this.
And this is if i filter from date 1/17/2017.
and, i want result like this picture below.
Can i do it?
Please help me explain more for this case.
Thanks master.

In my opinion, you started from the wrong direction. Instead of understanding what users need and then designing a solution that solves the problem, you take a technical solution and don't ask whether it's solves anything. If it doesn't bring any business value, doing it is just a waste of resources for both development and maintenance and therefore it shouldn't be approved. "I just want" simply isn't a sufficient reason.
@Crispin, Suresh: Yes, Martin right. my problem about displaying record in a grid, not creating new record for get line number.
@Martin : I can't solve this problem. But, no problem, this case not required in my form. I just want to create like in expression RowNumber in visual studio. But, if i can't apply in grid form, no problem.. i will finished this discuss.
Thanks very much all.
@PIL: So, what business problem is your solution going to solve? I somehow fail to see any advantage (and I you would avoid spending time with implementing something like that), therefore I would like to understand your scenario.
@Crispin, Suresh: As I understand, we're talking about displaying records in a grid, not about creating new records. And if you stored a line number in database, it would be fixed and it wouldn't meet the requirement. Remember, filtering the data should assign new row numbers. Your solution would make sense only if you used a temporary table and always regenerate the content every time when users filter or reorder records.
Hi PIL,
You can create a integer field, for that you can write code for line number. By using recid we can count the records in a form.
public void insert()
{
ItemReference itemReferenceLoc;
;
select count(RecId) from itemReferenceLoc;
this.LineNum = itemReferenceLoc.RecId + 1;
super();
}
try this it may help you.
Thanks,
Suresh
Thanks all..
i think, i can get line number in form like row number in visual studio (expression : =RowNumber("DataSetName")).
so, if i have 10 record in screen, i can get number from 1-10.
based on Filter just for get how many record selected based on filter Date or Group.
so, if i have 20 record in grid form, i can get number 1-20.
and if i have 5 record, i can get line number 1-5 like row number in visual studio.
If you would add a new field to all these datasources and populate the value based on some sequencing, that can be done.
However, your expectation is not really feasible if you would like to do it on-the-fly. AX typically loads 20 or 25 records into a buffer (unless you have a higher resolution screen, so more rows can fit in the grid), and you will not be able to determine how many records exist beforehand due to for example Filtering, so display method for returning this number is not going to work the way you expect.
Hi PIL,
What is the reason for this row number? Usually a row number would be identifying a certain record. Now you want to change the row number based on a filter. I don't see any benefit for having such a requirement.
This would be possible to achieve with use of a temporary table where you store the row numbers and a reference to your real table. Export to excel would also be possible. Then you can also easily create row numbers.
What logic should be used for generating these numbers? Is the value No field always corresponding to the order in the grid, so mere reordering will assign different numbers to the same records? (We already know that you want filtering to assign different numbers). If so, what's the value of this field? What business problem is it addressing?
