DAX measure which returns an index (counter) in a table depending on the displayed table items

Hi All!

 

I have a challenge, I would like to display a counter value in table visual, which should return an increasing number (increment +1) depending on the displayed and filtered items shown in the table visual.

 

I have a calculated table, which contains invoices' data.

 

IDPartnerCategory - MainCategory - Sub
AX1AAA
AV6BAB
ZT1CAC
DS2DBA
AS7DBB

 

If I put all data fields from the above shown table into a table visualization, I would like to add a measure which returns an index or counter value based on how the table is filtered. What I want to achieve.

 

Example 1.:

If I filter the table for category - main = 'A' then I would need the following result in the table visualization

IDPartnerCategory - MainCategory - SubMEASURE - Index
AX1AAA1
AV6BAB2
ZT1CAC3

 

Example 2.:

If I filter the table for category - main = 'B' then I would need the following result in the table visualization

 

IDPartnerCategory - MainCategory - SubMEASURE - Index
DS2DBA1
AS7DBB2

 

Do you have any solution on this issue?

Thanks a lot!

 

David

Hi @freidav1984 ,

 

I suggest you to try this code to create a measure.

Dynamic Index = 
VAR _1 =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        "Merage", COMBINEVALUES ( " ", [Category - Main], [Category - Sub] )
    )
VAR _2 =
    ADDCOLUMNS ( _1, "Index", RANKX ( _1, [Merage],, ASC, DENSE ) )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FILTER ( _2, [ID] = MAX ( 'Table'[ID] ) ), [Index] )

Result is as below.
