    I came across this post and it is what i need.  However when I create the index column  ..  when I bring it into a table in BI, the number become a series of other numbers and not my 1, 2, 3, index that was created.  I have seen several places where they show you how to create the index column, but How do i use it in my BI Table????

    Hi all, I have a calculated table for 365 dates starting April 01 20xx (using the Calendar DAX function). Now I need to add a column that simply puts a serial number for each row. The Edit Query only works for imported data...I am a newbie, obviously.

     

    Any help will be very much appreciated.
