Generate consecutive calculated column from scratch

Good morning community.

Today I ask for help with a calculated column for a table, where I have a customer (ID_CLIENTE) that can be repeated several times and different sales dates (FECHA_VENTA), I need to generate a consecutive (CONSECUTIVE in red) starting from scratch (0) for each row where the customer repeats (ID_CLIENTE) and in ascending order of sales date (FECHA_VENTA), attached table example result:

ID_CLIENTEFECHA_VENTACONSECUTIVE
101/02/20211
122/03/20212
101/01/20210
203/06/20210
224/06/20211
227/06/20212
303/04/20211
302/02/20210
305/04/20212
306/04/20213

Thank you very much in advance for your support.

Hi @Syndicate_Admin 

Try this code to build a calculated column. You can use Earilier function to catch current row.

CONSECUTIVE = 
RANKX(FILTER('Table','Table'[ID_CLIENTE] = EARLIER('Table'[ID_CLIENTE])),'Table'[FECHA_VENTA],,ASC,Dense)-1

Result is as below.

@Syndicate_Admin add new measure using following:

 

Rank1 = 
RANKX ( 
    FILTER( 
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Rank' ), 
        'Rank'[ID_CLIENTE] = MAX ( 'Rank'[ID_CLIENTE] ) 
    ), 
    CALCULATE ( 
        MIN ( 'Rank'[FECHA_VENTA] ) 
    ), , 
    ASC 
)  - 1
