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!
Solved! Go to Solution.
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])))
It's working perfectly. Thanks, Vicky!
