Hello Evrybody, i wanna create an index column in dax (not in power query) based on a number. Here's the result wanted.
Any help, please !
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Anonymous
Maybe you can try adding small random numbers for sorting.
Calculated column:
Column = 'Table'[Number]+RAND()/1000
Rank1 = RANKX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Column],,ASC,Dense)

I can't do that because my column doesn't only contains numbers. It contains text fileds too such as "A1000".
I converted that column to text and then i used the function concatenate and it's working.
Thank you so much everbody 🙂
Hi, @Anonymous
Usually we can use "Rankx" to create an index column if your column does not contain duplicate values.
Currently, It is almost impossible to create an index column based on a column containing duplicate values in DAX.
