Hi there,
I've spent a long time searching the internet and have only found forumns on how to accomplish this via DAX, although I need a solution on Power Query as I intend to pivot the table depending on the custom column results.
I'm looking for how I can count a duplicate value and rank it as 1,2,3,... in the other column with Power Query
Eg.
| Name | new column |
| jame | 1 |
| jon | 1 |
| jame | 2 |
| jame | 3 |
| jon | 2 |
| jame | 4 |
| jon | 3 |
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ashling

Hello - you can accomplish this by: grouping > add an index for each row > add another index to the grouped table in each row > expand.
SCRIPT:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8srPyFOK1UFiBCcWJeJg+JQmV6IxMnNygKxYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Names = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Names", type text}}),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Names"}, {{"Data", each _, type table [Names=nullable text, Index=number]}}),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Subtable", each Table.AddIndexColumn ([Data], "Index2", 1, 1, Int64.Type )),
#"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Subtable", "Index"}),
#"Expanded Subtable" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Subtable", {"Names", "Index2"}, {"Names", "Index2"})
in
#"Expanded Subtable"
NewStep=Table.FromRecords(List.Accumulate(Table.ToRecords(PreviousStepName),{{},[]},(x,y)=>let a=Record.TransformFields(x{1},{y[Name],each _+1??1}) in {x{0}&{y&[Count=Record.Field(a,y[Name])]}},a}){0})
