Running Count of Duplicate Values in a column

Hi All, 

 

I have the following data:

Name

Joe

Amy

Mary

Mary

Bob

Amy

Paul

Amy

 

In the query editor, I'd like to add a custom column that throws out a running tally of each duplicate name. That is:

Name

Duplicate tally

Joe

1

Amy

1

Mary

1

Mary

2

Bob

1

Amy

2

Paul

1

Amy

3

 

I've seen solutions to this by adding a measue in modeling, but I can't find anywhere how to do this with a calculated column in the query editor. Is it possible?

See this thread.  I think whatever happens you'll need an index or date(if you have it)
