Yep, it's pretty useful! I'll see if we can get the documentation updated to make it more clear where you can use it 🙂

Wow, somehow I'd always missed that this is a thing that can be used in the Value parameter in a!gridColumn(). I note that the only place it's mentioned in the documentation (like, at all) is in the Validations parameter for the whole grid.

It works! Thank you Peter!

..I add a question: is it possible to export the grid including this new "virtual" column to Excel or at this point do I necessarily have to move on to creating a view?

Ooooh this is a fun question! I think your best bet here is to use the information in fv!currentPage, since that has the start index and identifiers of the current page. Here's an example column for how I was able to get it to work:

a!gridColumn(
  label: "Index",
  value: fv!currentPage.startIndex - 1 + wherecontains(fv!identifier, tointeger(fv!currentPage.identifiers))
)
