Matrix issues

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to accomplish multiple things here...

1) I have a status (row) for each record that I have (Open, ongoing, closed) and I'm trying to get a Matrix that will show the values for each status per week (column).

Problem 1 = if I have a zero (or multiple) it will not display the status. I need the status to be "static" and if there's a zero, to present it.

2) I'm trying to show the last 5 weeks of creaed records. My data starts on January, so the week count is at week 46 so far. I'm looking forward to show. My columns would be: Week 42 | Week 43 | Week 44 | Week 45 | Week 46

Problem 2 = I've been able to do this only manually at the visual filter. I have not been able to figure out a dynamic way for this.

    1. I assume your Value for each status per week is a measure. Then you can apply IF condition like: 

     

    =IF([Value]=BLANK(),"static",[Value])

    2. You can use relative Date Slicer.

      Hi Simon,

       

      Thanks for your reply :)

       

      1. Not working. Yes, my value is done with a measure. Using your approach does not give me the zero values, from your formula is checking if I'll get a blank value, but my status rows will always have a value. Dont know if you're measuring on a different way - maybe counting each status?

       

       

       

      2. This is a great slicer, didn't know about it and I think it's awesome. However, even though I'll use it I did not explain myself correctly. What I want to accomplish automatically is that the matrix only shows the last 5 weeks but without the use of a slicer. I dont know if building a measure that somehow calculates the number of existing weeks and substract the number -5? So the matrix updates every week and only shows the data for the last 5?

       

      Regards,

      Hi Ashishs,

       

      I'm attaching an image since as a regular user I'm not able to attach files to the forum:

      Sample Data

       

      From the above I need to build a Matrix that looks like:

       

       Week 41Week 42Week 43Week 44Week 45Week 46
      Completed835012
      Invalid101032
      Opened173847
      Ongoing556473857781

       

      Where the first issue is that I cant get zeros in my matrix, it shows a blank cell.

       

      Like the one on my previous response.

       

      The second question, is to see how can I make my report to only show the last 5 weeks without the use of a slicer, that's why I mentioned maybe a calculation that counts the number of weeks?

       

      And another and bran new issue that I have, is that the row "ongoing" is the sum of open problems up to that week, this last calculation I have not figure how to make it either... 

       

      Hope this helps in explaining what I'm looking for.

      Thanks and regards,

      Vicente

        Hi,

         

        My first doubt is - How do you determine the week number?  Do you use the WEEKNUM() function?  Is the week number determined with respect to the Created date/Closed Date?  Plesae clarify.
