It's a minor variation on the previous version:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQyVtJRCkkszlYwBDKCS1ILFPISc1MVEpOSlWJ18ChITUvHr6CisgqswNQcrsAIRUFyUiJ+BSmpaWAFlhbmMAXGKAoyMrMgbjCwhCkwQVGQk5sHscIMboUpioK8/AL8CgqLisEKzM1MYQrMUBSUlJYpxcYCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, #"Task Name" = _t, #"Step Name" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, {{"Step", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Step", 1, 1, Int64.Type)}}), #"Expanded Step" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Step", {"Task Name", "Step Name", "Step"}, {"Task Name", "Step Name", "Step"}), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Step",{{"Task Name", type text}, {"Step Name", type text}, {"Step", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "ID_Step", each Text.From([ID]) & "-" & Text.From([Step]), type text), #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Added Custom",{"ID", "Step", "ID_Step", "Task Name", "Step Name"}) in #"Reordered Columns"Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

You can create two calculated columns:
Step = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Table1[Step Name] ), Table1[Step Name] <= EARLIER ( Table1[Step Name] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[ID] ) )ID_Step = Table1[ID] & "-" & Table1[Step]Do note though that you, as it is now, you do not have a column to establish order in the table in DAX. You would either have to add an index at the source (like you'd do it in PQ) or a possible alternative would be to use Step Name to establish that order (alphabetically), which is what I have done here.

I have no idea what is going on. Perhaps log out, restart the browser and log in again. It must have gotten stuck somewhere.
Or send me the Dropbox link by private message

I have signed out/back in and cleared all tempory file and the error persists. I cannot post any links or tables or any kind of HTML. Is there a way to raise a ticket as there is clearly an issue.
I will try and DM you the dropbox file.
