Hi,
the user wants each row should be consecutively numbered. Top row should start with # 1. There should be no duplicate numbers.
It seems very simple. I did not find in help. Give me idea how to create it.

Thanks.
 
You could go to the field explorer->special fields and add "recordnumber" to your report. If you have detail rows that you do not want counted, e.g., duplicates, then you could insert a running total that is set up to exclude the unwanted records by evaluating on change of some field.
