Add Ranking Column with filters

Hi Everyone,

 

I need some help creating an index column using DAX.  I have a table named ACCOUNTEXCEPTION with columns [ID] , [Key] and [Status]. I first want to create a ranking column, that sorts records in ascending order based on [ID] grouped by [Key]. 
 

To achieve this I can use the following code which works perfectly. 

Order by key =
VAR CurrentKey =  'ACCOUNTEXCEPTION'[Key]
VAR CurrentID =  'ACCOUNTEXCEPTION'[ID]

RETURN
CALCULATE
(
    COUNTROWS('ACCOUNTEXCEPTION'),
    FILTER
    (
     ALL('ACCOUNTEXCEPTION'),
     'ACCOUNTEXCEPTION'[Key] = CurrentKey
        && 'ACCOUNTEXCEPTION'[ID] <= CurrentID
    )
)

Now the issue I can't seem to solve is how to apply this ranking to only certain keys that meet a criteria. If the first ID within a key has the status = 'Research', then I want to go ahead with the ranking, otherwise I want to leave it blank. Below is how the final table should look like:
 
KeyIDStatusOrder by Key
A

1

Research1
A2In progress2
A3Completed3
B1Initiated 
B2In progress 
C1Research1
C2Completed2

 

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

        ),
        ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[ID]
    )
VAR _condition =
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            ACCOUNTEXCEPTION,
            ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[Key] = EARLIER ( ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[Key] )
                && ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[ID] = _firstid
                && ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[Status] = "Research"
        )
    ) = 1
RETURN
    IF (
        _condition,
        SUMX (
            FILTER (
                ACCOUNTEXCEPTION,
                ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[Key] = EARLIER ( ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[Key] )
                    && ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[ID] <= EARLIER ( ACCOUNTEXCEPTION[ID] )
            ),

Thanks for the code @Jihwan_kin. I need to modify slightly the way my ID column works since it doesnt't always start with a 1 per each key. Please see below the updated example and let me know how we could modify the ranking column. I appreciate your help.
