In this post I explore the outputs of RecNo() and RowNo() to demonstrate the difference visually.
These two fields are often used interchangeably, but they provide different output. In summary:
– RecNo() is a record number based on source table(s)
– RowNo() is a record number based on the resulting table
As a result, RowNo will always provide a unique integer per row in an output table, while RecNo is only guaranteed to be unique when a single source is loaded (RecNo is based on each single source table, interpreted individually rather than collectively).
