Autonumber function not working for Rank

[newqlik2017]

Hello,

I got below table A with 3 fields, STATE, YEAR ID and Amount. The values in Amount field are in descending order for each state. I then created a new column, named 'Rank' using autonumber function and the rank always doesn't work when there's the Amount value is exactly the same for the same state (see table A, red highlights).

What I need is results in table B, blue highlights. Any ideas how this can be done in Qlik Sense load script? 

Here's what I tried in the load script;

LOAD STATE, YEAR ID, Amount, AUTONUMBER(Amount, STATE) as Rank
From Table A;

I also tried below syntax but that did not work. 

LOAD STATE, YEAR ID, Amount, AUTONUMBER(Rowno(), Amount & STATE) as Rank
From Table A;

Table A:

STATE	Year ID	Amount	Rank

Use RecNo() instead of RowNo() like this and it should work. There is no need to reference the Amount field. You need something unique per State, which RecNo() will be. 

LOAD STATE, YEAR ID, Amount, AUTONUMBER(RecNo(), STATE) as Rank
From Table A;

@newqlik2017 if your data is already sorted you could even try below

LOAD
STATE,
"Year ID",
Amount,
if(STATE<>Previous(STATE),1,rangesum(Peek('Rank'),1)) as Rank
