7 years agoHow can I create a simple index column with dax.
I want to create a simple index column starting with 1 next to the total column. I can't do it with query editor because it is a calculated table. Giora

gtamir - Oh, then you want my SuperRank column formula, which I just invented:
SuperRank = VAR __table = FILTER(ALL('Table6'),[Total] > EARLIER('Table6'[Total])) VAR __tableSame = FILTER(ALL('Table6'),[Total] = EARLIER('Table6'[Total]) && [Customer] < EARLIER(Table6[Customer])) RETURN COUNTROWS(__table) + 1 + COUNTROWS(__tableSame)Attaching PBIX, you want Table6.

gtamir That is correct as written. You have to have some secondary identifier, you cannot just magically assign the ranks when things tie. You could use actual Index column in your query and then use that as your secondary identifier and that would ensure that you would never get the same rank twice.
