Solution 1

If ID is the primary key in your database then you can't, otherwise it is up to you and your application to do the numbering.

Generally it is a better idea not to rely on the primary key, and have your own numbering for this very reason.

Please, read Mehdi Gholam solution.

Try this:

SQL

SELECT [Receipt Id], [Bill No], [Receipt Amt Number]
FROM YourTable
WHERE [Receipt Amt Number] = 1
