row numbers

Line position identifiers

Row numbers are numerical identifiers assigned to horizontal lines in a grid, table, or spreadsheet.

They typically appear along the left edge, allowing users to locate and reference specific rows: The data you need is in row numbers 15 through 22.

In databases and programming, row numbers help identify records for sorting, filtering, or retrieval operations.
