Create Index on Visual Table
Hi RaffiKouzoud,
Sorry, Based on the results you expect,RANKX needs a unique column as a condition to sort.
The alternative is to use M query in the original table to add index columns first, and then use DAX to create a new table, which needs to contain the index columns previously added.
Then use the RANKX function to sort the new table according to the index columns in the new table.

Dear Amit,
Thank you for your reply, i have reviewed all the 3 links. The issue with my data is that I do not have any integer indicator (value). however, I just want to use DAX on my visual table to list series of number. This series of (unique) number will help me use TOP N filtering. Currently, i used the below code. where I used "Focal Point NAme" which is not unique however this value is repeated less than other indicators. So the RANKX generated numbers however they are not unique value.
Main Index = RANKX(ALLSELECTED(Main_Table),CALCULATE(MAX(Main_Table[focal_point_name])),,ASC,Dense)
So my question is that how to use DAX Measure to generate incremental row value on the visual table. That is 1,2,3,4,..... N Count. Thank you
