nth Instance in Power Query to count pageviews by session

I am trying to extrapolite user site flow using a pageview report that has unique session id, visit date/time, url, and referrer url. 

 

I'd like to sort by chronological (ascending) on the date column, then duplicate the table, remove all columns but session id, remove duplicates, assign an index value. Then merge that table with original, sort by index value, then count instance of that index value. 

 

I need a formula like =countif(A$1:A1)

So where are you stuck now? What do you need us to help you with?  If possible, please share a sample process diagram and your sample data.
