How can I create the LIne_NO in Power Query? Its counting what number time these 2 columns came up so far with the same data. Notice the $D$1:D2 and $C$1:C2 which causes it to start counting from the top but to only count up until the current line
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi @MStark,
you can use Group By with Add Index
Result:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMtY3tNQ3MjAyUdJRMlSK1YlWMtI3skAVQVZjRK5ILAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, LOCATION_ID = _t]),
GroupedRows = Table.Group(Source, {"Date", "LOCATION_ID"}, {{"All", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "LINE_NO",1,1,Int64.Type), type table [Date=nullable text, LOCATION_ID=nullable text]}}),
All = Table.Combine(GroupedRows[All])
in
All
