Dynamic Column Headings - Dates Over Time
I initially implemented this as a DAX calculated column but then realized this would not work as it doesn't sort the result correctly. I reverted back to the standard method of supplying an external calendar table instead. See attached for both options.
Super UserIf by "dynamic" you mean "recalculated during every import mode dataset refresh" then yes. Otherwise please provide more details, some sample data would be nice too.
Essentially, I'd like to see week over week # of Hired Employees. The weeks runFriday-Thursday, though.
For example, if my raw data looks like something like this:
| Hires | Region | Effective Date of Hire | Dashboard Refresh Date |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/14/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/14/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/14/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/14/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/14/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/20/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/21/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/21/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
| 1 | Consumer Ret | 1/27/2022 | 1/31/2022 |
And I'd like it summarized like this
| Hires | |||
| Region | Jan 14-20 | Jan 21-27 | YTD |
| Consumer Ret | 6 | 3 | 9 |

What would be the expected column header for the next week? "Jan 28-Feb 3" ? You may be running out of screen real estate fast.
