    Hi saumitra , 

    When "Ash Forbes" appears multiple times, two rows data are filtered out because the Date column in table is the same. You should add a column that can determine the order in which "Ash Fobes" appears. So I added an "index" column to the table, and then create the following calculated column.

    Countif = 
COUNTAX(
  FILTER(
    'Sheet1',
    'Sheet1'[Name] = EARLIER('Sheet1'[Name]) 
    && 'Sheet1'[Company] = EARLIER('Sheet1'[Company]) 
    && 'Sheet1'[index] <= EARLIER('Sheet1'[index])
  ),
  'Sheet1'[Name]
)

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

    Best Regards,
    Winniz

v-kkf-msft Hey, thank you very much. I am getting the desired outcome now. However, just one query. In my example, the dates are same but suppose in future the dates are different, then what can be done? 

Thanks again for solving the above problem. 🙂

Hi saumitra ,

If the same Name and Company appear on different dates, then the DAX you write in the first picture is right.

Best Regards,
