Convert Dax to M Code

I am trying to convert this DAX to M Code. I created a custom column with this DAX in the table view but I want to create this column in the Power Query editor. Please help!

 

Unique Product =
VAR CurrentProduct = 'Product Catalog'[Product Name]
VAR CurrentID = 'Product Catalog'[Index]
VAR Ranking =
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Product Catalog',
            'Product Catalog'[Product Name] = CurrentProduct
&& 'Product Catalog'[Index] <= CurrentID 
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF(
        Ranking > 1,
        CurrentProduct & " " & Ranking,
        CurrentProduct

Consider example data...

You can get this result with the following code...

jgeddes_1-1758572624771.png

 

= Table.AddColumn(YourPreviousStep, "Unique Product", each let ranking = Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(YourPreviousStep, (r)=> [Product Name] = r[Product Name] and [Index] <= r[Index])) in if ranking > 1 then [Product Name] & " " & Number.ToText(ranking) else [Product Name], type text)

This should get you pointed in the right direction.
