I am defining a date table using dax and instead of creating a seperate calculated column would like to add the following code with the date table code definition.
my calc col using rankx
Date Rank =
RANKX ( 'Date', FORMAT ( 'Date[Date], "YYYYMM" ),, ASC, Dense )
I want to add this to the date table code not as a calculated column but within the following code:
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDARAUTO (),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Quarter", "Q" & QUARTER ( [Date] ),
"Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] )
)
Solved! Go to Solution.

"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Quarter", "Q" & QUARTER ( [Date] ),
"Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ),
"Date Rank", RANKX ( T, FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMM" ),, ASC, DENSE )
)
