Cumulative RANKX index COUNT OCCURANCE

I have a table

 

IDColumn
1231
1231
7252
7252
10033
10033
10033

 

Column = RANKX('Full Table',[ID],,ASC,Dense),
 
is there a way to count the occurances:
IDColumn
1231
1232
7251
7252
10031
10032
10033

Hi, @Niiru1 , it's easier to achieve that in Power Query, as shown below,

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQyVorVQdDmRqYotKGBgTE2RiwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t]),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(Source,{{"ID", Order.Descending}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Sorted Rows", {"ID"}, {{"Count", each {1..Table.RowCount(_)}}}, GroupKind.Local),
    #"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Count")
in
    #"Expanded Count"

 

If you insist on DAX, it can be also achieved after adding an index column,

Rank Column =
RANKX (
    FILTER ( 'RankTable', 'RankTable'[ID] = EARLIER ( 'RankTable'[ID] ) ),
    'RankTable'[Index],
    ,
    ASC
)

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

@Niiru1  Hey Mate,

You can use below one . You have to create a column to get number of occurance 

Occurence = 
COUNTX (
    FILTER ( 'Full Table', EARLIER ( 'Full Table'[ID] ) = 'Full Table'[ID]  ),
    'Full Table'[ID] 
)

@Niiru1  Hi, Niiru, By introducing ID2 = ID+random decimal number, you can give rank to within each ID group. for example,

 

ID_Decimal = RankTable[ID] + RAND()
 
then, tyr below.
 
NewRank_Column =
VAR currentID = RankTable[ID]
VAR currentID_Decimal = RankTable[ID_Decimal]
VAR ID_FilteredTable =
FILTER (
RankTable,
AND ( RankTable[ID] = currentID, RankTable[ID_Decimal] < currentID_Decimal )
)
VAR RankRevised =
COUNTROWS ( ID_FilteredTable ) + 1
RETURN
RankRevised

@Niiru1 

What is your actual scenario where you need to add a sequence column? In DAX, you need a value column to rank by. 

If you just need a sequence number, Use power Query as @AlB  suggested.

Hi @Niiru1 

This is best done in Power Query. Paste the following M code in a blank query to see the steps:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQyVorVQdDmRqYotKGBgTE2RiwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"ID", Order.Ascending}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Sorted Rows", {"ID"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(_), Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Column", each List.Numbers(1,[Count])),
    #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Column"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Custom",{"Count"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

 If you want it in DAX you'll need to add an index column in Power Query first in any case.
