Assign sequence based on Unique Values

I have the following list.  I need to assign the "Market Split No" column but assigning a sequence based on the unique combination of Healthplan_Dashboard and Market Splits.  So the combination of Alabama:Alabama gets 1 but the two combination of Alabama:Birmingham both gets 2.   I think the best way would be to assign an index column that starts over at each change in Healthplan_Dashboard but I am not sure how to do that.

    would this work?

     

    i created a duplicated table, removed duplicates and created a index based on the composite columns and then merged that back in with a column called index
