How to Create a Calculated Hour Index Column

Hello Power BI Community,

 

I have 5 minute interval timestamp in an hour I want to create a column that gives me Hour Index value as 11111111 for all the 5 minute timestamps in a hour and the 2 hour it should give 22222222222.... it should start not start from 1 for the next date it should increment sequentially as the data keeps adding up.

 

 Please give a solution.
