Line Number in Table

Hi,

 

Looking for some help! I need to add a line number to a table in PBI, however, everything i try is too slow to populate even when i have it filtered with just a handful of options. I created an index in power query and then used the below measure. I need this to be dynamic when they filter in the report and i only have the order number to rank off of. Any tips would be appreciated!

 

Row number = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Order Rank'),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Order Rank'),'Order Rank'[Rank]<=MAX('Order Rank'[Rank])))

Hi @Bryanna ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

 

You are trying to create a dynamic row number in Power BI when filter in the report based on "Order  Number".

 

Please follow below steps.

 

1.  I have created table "Table" based on your sample data. refer snap.

2.  Created measure "Row Number" with below DAX , it will create dynamic row number.

 

Row Number =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            ALLSELECTED('Table'[Order Number]),
            'Table'[Order Number] <= MAX('Table'[Order Number])
        )
    )
)
 
3.  Please refer output snap and attched PBIX file for your reference.

Plase clarify if you are looking for a calculated column (a static thing) or a measure (dinamic thing). Assume you are looking for a measure but just to be sure. 

 

More importantly, please provise a sample of the table and a clear explanation of what you want to rank: you want to rank the order nr in an asceding way? And you want the ranking to be based only on the visible values in the matrix?

 

And what is the issue you have with your formula in use?

I keep receiving this error but there are no duplicate order numbers in the table.

 

A single value for column 'Order Number' in table 'Order Rank' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure or function formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result.

@Bryanna , Hi, you may try 

Row Number = 
RANKX(
    ALLSELECTED('Order Rank'),
    'Order Rank'[Order Number],
    ,
    ASC,
    DENSE
)
