Hello all, I am looking to create a column of data which only counts by like cells from two other fields.

My data is ID and Type, I'm looking ot produce the Count:
ID Type Count
A X 1
A X 1
B X 1
B X 1
A Y 2
A Y 2
B Y 2
B Z 3

I couldn't do this via a standard COUNT or via a ROW() PARTITION. Is the best way to concateante ID and Type?

SELECT ID,Type, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Type) AS [Count]
FROM Table
