maybe you can try this

1. add an index column in PQ

2. use DAX to create a column

Column = RANKX(FILTER('Table','Table'[surveykey]=EARLIER('Table'[surveykey])),'Table'[Index],,ASC)

hey, theres not direct way to replicate a excel formula sinces DAX function different , its column, row based evaluation instead of a per cell evaluation as excel. 

 

what you can do its learn a little dax and them add a index column and write a dax that compare a row for column value with that same row index -1 (previus entrey) or any other column you could us as hitorical entry reference.
