    Dear Power BI aspirant, 

     

    How to Add a Row Number in a Power BI Desktop Table Visual? 

     

    SCENARIO:
    - You have added data from fields in your Table visual.

    - There are many (hundreds/thousands) of rows, but there is no number for each row. 

    - You want to add a number beside each row by adding a Number Column from your fields. 

    - You have not created any number columns as yet. 

     

    SOLUTION 

    - Create a New Measure

    - Input DAX Formula below

     

    DAX FORMULA

    Row_Number =
    CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT(TABLE[COLUMN WHICH NEEDS ITS ROWS TO BE COUNTED]),
    FILTER(ALLSELECTED(TABLE), TABLE[COLUMN WHICH NEEDS ITS ROWS TO BE COUNTED] <= MAX(TABLE[COLUMN WHICH NEEDS ITS ROWS TO BE COUNTED]))
    )

     

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos!!
