I would add a new query with a list of all of the dates from your first year (let's say 2021) to the most recent year, so = List.Dates(#date(2021, 1, 1), Duration.TotalDays(Date.From(DateTime.LocalNow())-#date(2021, 1, 1)), 1)

 

Use the GUI option "To Table", name that column "Dates", and then add a column using the function each Date.WeekOfYear([Dates])

If you want to, group by Week, and choose the Max aggregation for [Dates].
Now you can return to your original query, split your [Period Week] column by ".", and make the types "Int64.Type" (whole number). 
Now you can merge with your Dates query on Week Number and year.
