Dear all,
I have a simple table with date colum and product, the products are manufactured by batches so I have several entries for product for diferents times range. I would like to know how many times a product is manufactured in a period of time, I put a example:
| Product | Date | Rank expected |
| A | 16/01/2020 22:56 | 1 |
| A | 17/01/2020 22:41 | 1 |

I have a data set of thounsands, The table is just for near a month, and in that month product A was manufactured 4 times, producto B was manufactured only once, product C was manufactured 2 times and product D was 2. I would like to know how many times each product has been manufactured over time.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Rank column is that I would like to obtain. For first dates and product A, is 1, for next dates of product A, becomes in 2 , for next dates of product A becomes in 3 and so for each product. I have entries for each product when product changes and undeterminate time.
Thanks
