When using each row, you can track row number as shown below

```julia
for (i, row) in enumerate( eachrow( test_df ) ) 
     # do something with row and i 
end

```

but how do I track the row number in each iteration when using DataFramesMeta @eachrow ?

Side note: you can also use `rownumber(row)` instead of doing `enumerate`.

DataFramesMeta.jl introduces a variable into local scope called `row` which refers to the row number.
