Creating Visual based on running weekly values

Hi all, 

 

My brain is pretty much fried trying to think of the logic behind this so hoping somebody may have done something similar or have a good idea how to create the below chart as a chart within Power BI. 

 

Neymarsh_0-1693497321392.png

 

The above table is currently manually put together within excel. I am trying to replicate it within a report so the manual aspect is taken away. What the business is looking for is a chart which calculates the value of invoices processed during the week (showing as the Actuals per week), this week approvals are jobs awaiting to be invoices and the targets are static. I "currently" don't have an issue actually calcualting the data as I have everthing set to put together. So my question is to see if it is possible to automate this. 

 

Is there a way, where if a month was select from a silcer, the weeks within that month are shown (can just be numbered or dated) within the chart and the totals are displayed. For example from above, for Area 1, week 5 of august will be shown tomorrow automatically? Then next month September, week 1 automatically calculate the totals with any invoices created then move onto week 2 after next friday.

 

I originally thought that using CALCUATE based on the current week then -1 week, then -2 etc on the total, it  would allow me to get the what I need but this would only allow the report to be run at the end of the month. Is there a way to base the calcualtion on the year week or month week.  

 

Apologises if this doesn't make too much sense, as mentioned, I've been looking at this for pretty much 6 hours straight and I've just kept going round in circles. Any help would be greatly appeciated! 

 

Thanks!

@Neymarsh So, I would recommend potentially using a matrix visual and a disconnected table for your columns. You would then work all of the logic as far as what to display into a measure. Really difficult to be specific here given the information provided. 

 

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
