Hi - is there a way I can use the row number in a formula? As it isn't technically a row value I'm struggling to find out how I can do it.

Unfortunately, there isn't a direct way to use row numbers in formulas in Clay. Our system doesn't have vertical memory, meaning you can't reference what's happening in the row above. However, there are some workarounds you can try: 1. Use the "Score Row in Clay" feature to assign numbers to rows based on specific criteria. 2. Export your table to CSV, edit it with Excel or Google Sheets to assign numbers, then reimport it to Clay. 3. Use the Lookup Multiple Rows enrichment to find related data across rows, which can sometimes achieve similar results to row numbering. If you need more specific guidance on implementing these workarounds, please let me know, and I'll be happy to provide more details.

To use the 'Score Row in Clay' feature to assign a row value: 1. Add the 'Score Row in Clay' enrichment to your table. 2. Set the number of scoring criteria (max 15). 3. Define your scoring rules based on keywords or numeric values. 4. Run the enrichment. This will create a 'Score' column with numerical values and a 'Score Reasons' column explaining the assigned scores. This feature helps prioritize leads by giving them a value, making data analysis more efficient. If you need more detailed guidance on setting this up, let me know, and I'll provide step-by-step instructions.

ok - how do I paste the same text into a group of rows. Ie. I want to ensure the same text is in rows 300-600 - but then isn't in 601-900

To paste the same text into a specific group of rows (300-600) without affecting others: 1. Click "Rows 🔽" at the top of the table 2. Enter 300 for "Starting Row" and 301 for "Row Limit" 3. Click "Save Changes" 4. Paste your text into the desired column for the visible rows 5. Repeat steps 1-3, adjusting "Starting Row" and "Row Limit" as needed until row 600 To exclude rows 601-900, simply don't include them in your row selections. If you need further assistance, please request human help by clicking "Talk to a person".
