Custom column Index or Ranking by other column
I'm looking to add an index column, but have it increase according to a certain column value. Let me give an example; let's say my data is: Group Date A 18-Apr A 19-Apr A 23-Apr...

Thats like an index on a table partition. You can create that by using grouping on the column and returning "_" - which means that all column of the table (but only for the specific value in the column) will be return. You then nest your Index-command in:
let Source = Table1, Partition = Table.Group(Source, {"Group"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index",1,1), type table}}), #"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"Date", "Index"}, {"Date", "Index"}) in #"Expanded Partition"

It might help if you buffer the group-step (Table.Buffer).
Otherwise I would need more detailled information of how the scramble looks like/what exactly is the problem.

Thank you so much! It worked fine. After using the Table.Buffer it worked perectly...!
