Dynamic Table Calculation

Hello guys, I am here again looking for your help.

 

I have a dataset with a column called Company Group.

 

I would like to build a new table based on that column only with the distinct values and an additional row "Total". I need also another column as an Index.

 

This is what I tried but it didn't work.

 

VAR companies = UNION(CALCULATETABLE(DISTINCT(DB[Company Group])),{("TOTAL")})
VAR index = GENERATESERIES(1, DISTINCTCOUNT(DB[Company Group])+1)
VAR _all =
GENERATE(companies1, index)
return _all
 
 
 
My desired outcome is something like:
 
Company | ID
Company1 | 1
Company2 | 2
Company3 | 3
TOTAL | 4
 
Can you guys provide me some help?
Thank you in advance!

Hi @jayala ,

You can create a new table with the following formula:

newCompany = ADDCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('Company'[Company Group]),"Index",RANKX(ALL('Company'),'Company'[Company Group],,ASC,Dense))
