    hi  Anonymous 

    The simple way is use RANKX Function to create a calculate column

    Column=RANKX('Date',[Date],,ASC)

     

     

    and here is sample pbix file, please try it.

    Greg_Deckler  this is great! but how do i show it over the years? so 1/1/2014 would be 1, but 1/1/2015 would be 366, 1/1/2016 would be 732 (bc of leap year)

      Right, that was the purpose of Sequential, to give a sequential number that spanned years. I think I did it based on weeks and not days but should be relatively easy to modify for days. You may have to scroll through the entire thread because I think there were some bug fixes. I have the official version in my book which I believe had all of the bug fixes and other improvements that I came up with. Let me know if you need some help modifying it. I can probably find some time to go grab my latest code from my book and modify it for day instead of week.
