Hi I need help to get unique serial number for the rows when I go to drillthrough page as shown in the image.If it retrieves 10 rec then serial number should be 1 to 10. If 5 records then 1 to 5 .I tried below DAX function but it is giving duplicate values because same vendor name,same facility.But still I need get unique numbers.How can I achieve this??
Below are the DAX I used:
1.Measure
Thanks..
Solved! Go to Solution.
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

Thank you !

Hi,
This DAX pattern generates a serial number column
@csb This is a common problem with the ranking functions in DAX. You could investigate this solution for getting unique ranks: The Mythical DAX Index - Microsoft Fabric Community
