Running count of reoccurring values in a column ordered by another column

Is there a way I can get a running count based on a reoccuring value in a column, and start a new running count based on new values? Please see the example below for what I am trying to achieve. When defining where to start counting, the data would most likely be sorted by a date column. Thank you!

According to your description, you are actually need to create a Rank column based on a date column within each ID group. Right?

 

You can create a calculated column like below:

 

RankWithinGroup Column =
RANKX (
    FILTER ( Table, Table[ID] = EARLIER ( Table[ID] ) ),
    Table[Date],
    ,
    ASC,
    DENSE
)

Regards,

Can this be done in the edit queries screen as a column with new values? Ideally I would like to use this value to create a new key for the table it resides in.
