Repurchase counter

Hello guys, 
this is my first post and I need help. 

I have a huge database with the columns: day, state, costumer code, SKU, origin, state and month. 
I need to count how many times a costumer made a purchase in a month, but I need to mark when this code appeared that month. If it is the first time, mark with 1, the second with a 2, etc.

I can do that on Excel: =COUNTIFS($D$2:D10087;D10087;$E$2:E10087;E10087) where D is the Costumer Code and E is the Month. (I do that every line from D2 to D10087)

I tried that on Power BI, creating a new table:
Calc_Repurchase = 
SUMMARIZE(db, db[Costumer Code], db[Month], "Count", DISTINCTCOUNT(db[Day]))

It works, but it only shows the total number of times the customer made the purchase in a month. And isn't what I want. 

I created a new column at the original table using Column = COUNTX(FILTER(db, db[Day] <= EARLIER(db[Day])), db[Costumer Code]), but returned a message error tha my computer doesn´t have enough memory. 
 
 
Regards, 

Rafael

@rafarother , Output you want is not clear. Please check last post how to provide the information.

 

I think you need day rank. Try if this can work

rankx(filter(db, [Costumer Code] = earlier([Costumer Code]) && [Month] && earlier([Month])), db[Day],,asc,dense)

I want something like that:

But yes, I think i need a rank.




I can do it that way:
count_purchase =
COUNTROWS(FILTER(db, db[Customer Code] = EARLIER(db[Customer Code]) && db[Month] = EARLIER(db[Month]) && db[Day] <= EARLIER(db[Day])))

This works, but in a small database. In the huge database (21000000 lines), said I don´t have enough memory. (My work notebook have only 4GB RAM.  Sad 😕  )
