use "Calculated Value" as Default value in a custom column

$

Hi experts,

I have a list in my Sharepoint site with below custom columns:

ReportName

Description

Group

Rank

The Rank column is designed to be a number column which indicates the sorting order of the default view of this list. When user adds a new item in the list, the Rank column should have a default value of the total number of items in the list. I see there's a setting called "Default value" and two options "Number" and "Calculated Value". 

I want to use this formula: =count([ReportName]), but seems it does not work. I receive below error:

Sorry, something went wrong

One or more column references are not allowed, because the columns are defined as a data type that is not supported in formulas.

The data type of the [ReportName] is single line text, so it can't be used in a formula? What can I do for my purpose then?

Thanks
