    ctedesco3307  you need a calndar table for this and the above fact[Date] needs to have a relationship with Calendar[Date], then you can write following measure to give you what you need

     

    Measure = "from"&" "&MAX('Calendar'[First_Day_in_Week])&" "&"to"&" "&MAX('Calendar'[Last_Day_in_Week])

     

     

    Minimum dependency a calendar table with following structure

     

    Calendar_Date First_Day_in_Week Last_Day_in_Week
    2020-01-01 2019-12-29 2020-01-04

      Thanks for the quick reply - my exmple was actually my date table. How do I get the first and last week columns in there? 

      TDate = ADDCOLUMNS(
      CALENDAR(date(2021,1,1), date(2021,12,31)),
      "Month", FORMAT([Date],"mmm YY"),
      "MonthOrder", (YEAR([Date])*100) + MONTH([Date]),
      "Year", YEAR([Date]),
      "Week", WEEKNUM([Date]),
      "Day", FORMAT([Date],"ddd") ,
      "Billing Month",
      var DayNumber = WEEKDAY( [Date], 2 )
      return
      [Date]
      + ( 5 - DayNumber)
      + 7 * (DayNumber > 5
      ))

      This worked fantastic, accept for one issue that just occured to me. I need to use these values as columns in a matrix report and can't do that as measures? Is there a way to do this as a calculated column? I should have specified that initially - my fault there. Apologies.
