Add a new Column using IF or any other functions

Hello,

I want to add a column(ID) in Power BI query editor same like I have added it in Excel using IF function. See picture below.

column(user_id) should be sorted out low to high.

@hello_MTC is it ok if it will be in dax? You basically need a ranking column there.
If yes, then you just want to write this calculated column:
CALC = RANKX('Table', 'Table'[user_id],,ASC,Dense)

I added a sample with differnet numbers:

What if I want to put filter on column(user_type)?

[SpartaBI]

@hello_MTC you mean you want to the rank to start over for each user type?

[hello_MTC]

Yes, I have user_type as Suspect, Witness Victim. And I want to filter this out by Victim only.

@hello_MTC can you maybe share a sample data so I could copy it to Power BI and send back the result?

[hello_MTC]

how to share

[SpartaBI]

@hello_MTC either you share a sample PBIX (through a link from onedrive/gdrive/dropbox/etc or just create a sample data in excel and copy paste the table to the message here.

Never mind! I solved it!

ID2 = RANKX(FILTER('actdb users_outcome','actdb users_outcome'[user_type]="Victim"),'actdb users_outcome'[user_id],,ASC,Dense)
