Helper ICreating an Index column based on a calculated column and a regular column
Hi RH10 ,
How about this:
here the code:
Column = RANKX ( FILTER ( Table, Table[Year (Calculated)] = EARLIER ( Table[Year (Calculated)] ) && Table[Course name] = EARLIER ( Table[Course name] ) ), Table[Date], , ASC , DENSE )For reference:
Let me know if this helps! 🙂
By the way, I would still recommend to solve it in Power Query. You could even create your calculated column in PowerQuery, too. But since your requirement was to do it in DAX, I provided the solution in DAX as well./Tom

Super UserRH10 , Try a new measure like
countx(Filter(Table, [course name] = earlier([course name]) && [Date] <= earlier([Date]) ), [course name])
Helper IHello amitchandak ,
Thank you for your solution. Unfortunately, it does not work properly. My actual data is somewhat messy, as this project that I'm working on is supposed to be updated throughout the year. As of now, there are courses that don't have a specific date and are left blank, or just has a month, or just has the year. I apologize for not making this clear earlier. But since the date column is somewhat random in my dataset, I would like to avoid using it, which is why I created the calculated Year column using DAX functions. So I would like to use that Year column to create the index. Is it possible to do so without using the dates column for the measure?
