Hi @hassanh2 
You can add calculated column with DAX Formula:

RankDate =
RANKX(
    FILTER(
        'table',
        'table'[Customer] = EARLIER('table'[Customer])
    ),
    'table'[Date],
    ,
    DESC
)
The sample file is Linked here

Hi @Ritaf1983 
Thank you for your support, but unfortunately the DAX you sent didnt return the result what I was looking for. In some cases the rank started from 2, also sometimes the rank was not consistent 1,2,4,7,...etc. I tried by adding Dense to your DAX but still didn't solve the issue.
