Add index column at table view

There is a function in Power Query  of adding Index Column.

Index Column numbered the rows starting from 1 or 0 without repeating numbers.

I need the same function but in table view.

I add a new table using summarize, so there is no Power Query for this table.

Is there any dax function having same effect?

@kusanagi 

maybe you can try to use rankx to create the index column

Table 2 = 
VAR tbl=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[id],"amount",sum('Table'[value]))
return ADDCOLUMNS(tbl,"Index",rankx(all('Table'[id]),'Table'[id],,ASC))
