How to add a Serial Row Number Column in Power BI Table / Matrix visual?
Hi ShmuelM,
Grabbing in your table just add a measure with the countrows:
Row_Number = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS(Profit_Table), FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Profit_Table ), Profit_Table[Position] <= MAX ( Profit_Table[Position]) ) )As you can see in the print below it counts the number of rows no matter if you have slicer or not, left table is the full data, right table is influenced by slicer.
Please be aware that this measure is influenced by the order of your Position so if you want to order by another column this will give you the row number in a different order also.

ShmuelM just make sure before adding the index/row number (explained in the post above) you order your dataset by the reference column (in your case Position)
Hi sbvsv ,
Thanks for answering ,
I saw this solution but this is not answering my question .
for example I have this this table, 2 columns :ID , CITY in the phisic table:
ID , CITY
1 WASHINGTON
2 AMSTERDAM
3 LONDON
4 ROMA
IF I will select and filter in the report only 3 cities : WASHINGTON , AMSTERDAM , ROMA
The Table In PowerBI will show me
1 WASHINGTON
2 AMSTERDAM
4 ROMA.
I want to see it like this:
1 WASHINGTON
2 AMSTERDAM
3 ROMA .
I don't want the 'ID' Of the row , just a running number in the display table in Power BI that will change every time I chage filter / order.
I hope the question is clearer.

I have a new challenge in this area. I have a table with Index, City, Street, Value1 and Value2. There are duplicated value in City and Street, but Value1 and Value2 are different. Like
Index City Street Value1 Value2
1 A 123 D1 C1
2 A 123 D2 C2
3 A 456 D3 C3
4 A 456 D4 C4
5 B 131 D5 C5
I use a scatter to see the Value distribution and I also want to use a table to see how many City and Street couples when I change a filter by Value1
I have the problem to show the row number in table, it show like
RowNo City Street
2 A 123
4 A 456
5 B 131
What I want is
RowNo City Street
1 A 123
2 A 456
3 B 131
Microsoft should have just added a on/off for row numbers for tables and matrix. I'm needing help with this exact same question. Has this been answered for you?
