Matrix Filtering is Confusing please help

Hello everyone, i cant seem to understand the logic behind the filtering in matrix

i am adding a measure called weekcheck to filter out dates based on a number range paramater to go back x number of weeks compared to today's week

Week check = 
VAR ReferenceDate =
    CALCULATE(MAX( dimDate[StartOfWeek] ), REMOVEFILTERS(dimDate))
VAR NumDays =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Parameter[Parameter] ) * 7
RETURN
    IF ( ( ReferenceDate - NumDays ) <= MAX(dimDate[StartOfWeek]), 1 )

 

if i do the matrix like this i get the results i need

 



however the way i want to display it is putting the startofweek in the column of the matrix not row

and as soon as i do this, the filter breaks and doesnt work



as you see i have way more data back from the start of my dataset?

why is this happening and how to fix it please

    Hi eliasayyy 

    Try creating a filtered measure instead

    Filtered Measure =
VAR ReferenceDate =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( dimDate[StartOfWeek] ), REMOVEFILTERS ( dimDate ) )
VAR NumDays =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Parameter[Parameter] ) * 7
VAR StartDate = ReferenceDate - NumDays
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( [your measure], KEEPFILTERS ( dimDate[StartOfWeek] >= StartDate ) )
