Hi,
I would like to place a running count column on a table visual, that has a value starting from 1 on the first row and incrementing by 1 for each following row. I know I can do this based on a column. Here's my measure based on the LastName column where SLR is the table name:

Hi @mrivney ,
I don't think what you're trying to achieve is possible. For a sequence to work, it must reference a column and changing the order of rows in such a column would result to your sequence changing as well.

UIse this measure:
RC =
COUNTROWS(
WINDOW(
0,ABS,
0,REL,
SUMMARIZE( ALLSELECTED( 'SLR' ) , 'SLR'[LasName] ),
ORDERBY( 'SLR'[LasName] , ASC )
)
)

Hi Fowmy, it works only if the LastName column is sorted in ascending order. If I sort on the same column, but with descending order, then the first row's running count does not start from 1 but instead is the value that is the maximum row count. And if I sort on a different column, then the row count is not in sequential order, either ascending or descending.
Thanks, Mike.
Hi @mrivney ,
Please post a usable sample data (not an image) and your expected result from that.

Hi Danextian,
Here's the data:
PlayerId | LastName | FirstName | CountryDescription |
11 | Smit | Hans | USA |
20 | Powers | Jes | USA |
33 | Smithy | Ellen | Mexico |
40 | Valon | Deborah | Mongolia |
50 | Palmers | Janice | USA |
119 | Taddy | Dwight | USA |
And here is the visual:
The data was not sorted. Note, I don't care if it is sorted or not, but I want the Running Count row to be in ascending sequential order, starting from one. That regardless of the sort or filter. Thanks.
