I know this post is old but the above solution didn't work for me. instead if let i = index; try let i = dataIndex for latest version of mat-table check this solution. Don't know if it's just for expandable table though

  <td mat-cell *matCellDef="let element; let i = dataIndex">{{i + 1}}</td>
</ng-container>
