Approximate Beg Backlog and Approximate ending Backlog DAX not working as required

Hi, I am new to power bi. I have a scenario in which  I have to calculate Approximate Beg Backlog & Approximate Ending Backlog.
The dax formulas for both are as follows:
Approximate Beg Backlog = Approximate Ending Backlog(previous Week), 
Approximate Ending Backlog =Sum of Approximate Beg Backlog, Net Sales (Bookings) through Cancelations.

As you can see, the formulas are interdependent and causing circular dependency with sample dataset as follows:

 

 

3-Oct

10-Oct

17-Oct

Approximate Ending Backlog=
var date1=FIRSTDATE(MarketTable[Start MinWeek])
var addoffour_previouseweek = CALCULATE([addoffour],DATEADD(MarketTable[date],-7,DAY))
var addoffour_prepreviouseweek = CALCULATE([addoffour],DATEADD(MarketTable[date],-14,DAY))
var prepreweek = CALCULATE([addoffour],DATEADD(MarketTable[date],-21,DAY))
var pr1 = CALCULATE([addoffour],DATEADD(MarketTable[date],-28,DAY))

return
IF(date1=MIN(MarketTable[date]),[addoffour],[addoffour]+addoffour_previouseweek+addoffour_prepreviouseweek+prepreweek+pr1)

 

The above formula for Approximate Ending Backlog is giving the result but I have to put variables for each week. I am looking to get this loop functionality dynamically.
How to get it using dax?

I have already created these measures as variables in my dax formula. And it is working for that perticular variables only i.e Four weeks. But I am looking to get this loop functionality dynamically.

@VJ_2692 , You should create a date table and measures like

 

CALCULATE(Sum(Table[Value]) ,DATEADD(Date[date],-7,DAY))

 

CALCULATE(Sum(Table[Value]) ,DATEADD(Date[date],-14,DAY))
