Create a Rank Index Column in Power Query

Hi Community Members,

 

I have a column ID with values  50, 70, 10, 5, 95, 100, 100, 225

 

I want to create an index column (1 - 8 )such that the lowest value in the ID column gets the value 1 and the highest in the id column gets value 8.

 

Here 5 will get index value 1, 10 will get index value 2 ........ 225 will get index value 8.

 

I can do it using rankx but want to try this in Power Query.

 

Regards,

Harsh Nathani
