Hi All

 

How to identify the duplicate values and mark as sequential number (1,2,3...) using Rankx or Row Number Partition by functions.

 

Thanks

Not sure using Rankx or Row Number but below DAX works well if there is
unique field/id:

 

dup =
Var pid = Products[UNID]
return CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( Products ),
ALLEXCEPT ( Products, Products[EFFECTIVEDATE] ),
pid >= Products[UNID]
)

ALLEXCEPT ( Products, Products[EFFECTIVEDATE] ) is the field you want to find the duplicate by and
you can include multiple fileds here and Products[UNID] is unique filed/row identifier of the products table.

 

Thanks
