Hi am looking to have an Index Column that will repeat the same index number if the AccoutantLinkCode is repeated in another text field column.
So for the first AccountantLinkCode group "Bank" the index would be 1, then next group AR would be 2 and so on..
Can you advise the best approach or function to get this new index column in the table below?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please see the Query Editor in attached PBIX file
HI @THEG72
Try this. First Add a supporting Column
Supporting Column = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Table1[Index] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[AccountantLinkCode] ) )
Then you can use this Index Column
Please see attached excel file
Index Column = RANKX ( Table1, Table1[SupportingColumn],, ASC, DENSE )
Thanks for your reply, would you know the M language version to get this result instead of DAX?
Hi @THEG72
With Query Editor...You can create a Duplicate Query....
Summarize(Group by) results using the AccountantLinkCode Column
Then Add an Index to it
Now you can merge the 2 Queries
Result
Please see the Query Editor in attached PBIX file
