Hello Rajan,

Create a field in the table and name it as 'SERIAL'. Create a variable called 'count' with default value as 0. Now in script editor, for javascript language and calculate event, write the following script.

var fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(xfa.layout.page(this)-1, "field", 0);

for (var i=0; i <= fields.length-1; i++)

{

if (fields.item(i).name == "SERIAL")

{

count.value = count.value + 1;

this.rawValue = count.value;

}

}
