Hi
I'd like to have a calculated column that generates unique reference numbers for reports submitted by companies with the following requirement.
1. When a company submitted more than one reports on the same day, the report reference would be the same.
For additional context, I have unique reference numbers for each reports which I use for relationships.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
cheers
@Anonymous , Create a rank column on truncated date column
new columns =
Date = datevalue([Datetime])
Rank = rankx(Table, [Date],,asc,dense)
or
Rank = rankx(filter(Table, [Company] = earlier([Company]) ) , [Date],,asc,dense)
You can rank in power query
