Function that depends on the row number
Sorry I couldnt add a code sample but Im on my phone.  piRSquared confirmed my fears when he said the info is lost.  I guess ill have to do a loop everytime or add a column with numbers ( that will get scrambled if i sort them : / ).
Thanks everyone.
In pandas, is it possible to reference the row number for a function.  I am not talking about .iloc.
iloc takes a location i.e. a row number and returns a dataframe value.
I want to access the location number in the dataframe.  
For instance, if the function is in the cell that is 3 rows down and 2 columns across, I want a way to return the integer 3.  Not the entry that is in that location.
Thanks.
