    If you try doing it with a dax measure then you get inconistent results depending on the filters.

    Consider doing it in Power Query, so your reports will show a consistent serial number for the rows.

     

    For example ...

     

    Create some test data

     

    Group By Vendor using the Operator = All Rows

    Add a custom column

    Table.AddIndexColumn([Count],"Index",1)

     

    Expand the Serial Number column

    Remove unneeded columns

    Congratualations, you now have a serial number for each row that restarts from 1 for each Vendor
