Friends,

Lets see what is RowNumber function in SSRS and a simple example to demonstrate the same. This RowNumber function returns the row number for every row with in the dataset. You have to pass the scope for which you wish to create row numbers.  PFB the syntax for the same –

RowNumber(Scope)

Scope – This tell the server when to RESET the running count. If you pass DATASET name as SCOPE then it will not RESET until the all the items in the DATASET get over. Similarly if you secify a GROUP then the running count will not reset until all the rows items in the group is completed and it will repeat the same for all the groups. You can provide anyone of the below given objects as SCOPE of the function.

1) Dataset

2) Group
