Cumulative Count

Hi,

 

I am new to Power BI and DAX and I was wondering if someone could help me.

 

I have a table with duplicated names in a column, I would like a DAX formula to count the amount of times it see's a name.

 

For instance if Jamie were to appear 3 times, I would like it to show

 

Name  Instance

Jamie    1

Jamie    2

Jamie    3

 

Your help and time is greatly appriciated :smileyhappy:

  • Hi Jamie_Hughes

     

    To do this in DAX..you will need to add an Index Column from the Query Editor first.

     

    Then you can use this Calculated Column

     

    Instance_ =
    RANKX ( FILTER ( Table1, [Name] = EARLIER ( [Name] ) ), [Index],, ASC, DENSE )
