Index column in Power Query

[Anonymous]

I have a table in SQL that loads in Power BI, in that table has only a Number column.

I Want to know if there is any way to create the index column in Power Query?

The index column count every five rows of the column Number.

I created this column using R language, but I cannot use R in my organization

Hi @Anonymous 

There is an option Create Index Column (From 1) in Power Query Editor mode. So, add this index column.

next, add a Custom column:

= Number.RoundUp([Index]/5)

full power query example:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("HcS5DQAgDATBXi6mI8sBYH7oP0XaCcZMWZ5MhSsHN+48ePLizYcvP7l/", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each Number.RoundUp([Index]/5)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Index"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
