Index column in table visualization

Hi,

 

I currently need to add an index column but I need it in the visualization of a table, not in the Power Query because the table has filters. I found a formula that doesn't work in my model, apparently it's "very complex" for my model when i try to use it.

 

rownum = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Table1),Table1[Name]<=MAX(Table1[Name])))

Is there any other option?
Thanks

@Anonymous I would recommend sharing a sample pbix file with the expected output to get the solution.

This option doesn't work, it assigns the rank from the complete table and I really don't know how to add a filter, because the table I manage in the visualization comes from two tables, not just one, and the filter criteria comes from de other table:
