incremental column in Power BI
Hi Anonymous ,
If you don't want to use Rank(), you can try this:
1. Sort the Paid Amount column by DESC in power query editor
2. Create an index column start from 1:
3. Close and apply power query editor, put this index column into the table to get the number 1-50 which is sorted by Paid Amount column

Hi v-yingjl, Thanks for your reply this is really helpful when we have an source like SQL OR Exel or any other source but here my scenario is my source is tabular model so i can't create index column inpower Bi desktop level, If you have any other ways to add an cremental columns please suggest me.
Hi Anonymous ,
Now let's arrange it together. Since your data source is a tabular model so that you cannot create a calculate column using Rankx(). Also, you don't want to modify your model. Right?
If so, whether I can create a measure intersperseding rankx() in it like this with the tabular model in power bi desktop to meet your requirement:
Measure = VAR tab = SUMMARIZE ( Sheet1, Sheet1[Provider Legacy Number], Sheet1[Paid Amount], "Rank", RANKX ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), Sheet1[Paid Amount] ) ) RETURN SUMX ( tab, [Rank] )Best Regards,
