Calculate a date sequence on a row level per ID (in DAX)

Hi there, 

I have this data set where each patient goes through different treatments (each row is a new treatment).

I would like to add a new column (using DAX) that creates a sequence of numbers from 1 to "N" for each Patient, being 1 assigned to the earliest date. 

This is what the new column should look like:

Patient Created on (d/mm/yyyy)  Treatment number (calculated column)
Patient A   16/08/2023    3

Patient A

    5/05/2023    2 
Patient A   25/03/2023    1
Patient B   13/08/2023    2
Patient B    5/05/2023     1 
Patient C   19/06/2023    1
Patient D    8/09/2023    2
Patient D   14/07/2023    1


Thanks!

Try the following formula in a calculated column:

Treatment Number = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[ Created on (d/mm/yyyy)] <= EARLIER('Table'[ Created on (d/mm/yyyy)]) && 'Table'[Patient] = EARLIER('Table'[Patient])))
