How can I create a simple index/ row number which is dynamic

Hi All,

I have a product table with ID, DATE, PRODUCT ,Count of  products and index across the table.

IDdateProduct namecountIndex
A0011/1/2023Apple11
B0021/2/2023Samsung42
C0031/3/2023Apple53
D0041/4/2023Microsoft24
E0051/5/2023Google35
F0061/6/2023Apple66

 

How to create a dynamic index which auto assigns the series when a filter is applied. For example, product name = 'Apple'
Output :

IDdateProduct namecountIndex
A0011/1/2023Apple11
C0031/3/2023Apple52
F0061/6/2023Apple63

 

Appreciate for your help!

 

Thanks

Hi, 

I assume you want to create a meausure, not a calculated column.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I authored a measure that results the index number, and it is depending on the date and the ID column.

Please kindly correct me if the logic to create the index number is different.

Index measure: =
COUNTROWS (
    WINDOW (
        1,
        ABS,
        0,
        REL,
        SUMMARIZE (
            ALLSELECTED ( Data ),
            Data[ID],
            Data[date],
            Data[Product name],
            Data[count]
        ),
        ORDERBY ( Data[date], ASC, Data[ID], ASC )
    )
)

Hi  @KN8 ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create measure.

Measure =
RANKX(
   ALLSELECTED('Table'),CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[date])),,ASC)

2. Result:
