Calculate the number of weeks a task is active

[Anonymous]

I have data that looks like this:

Task ID | Task Start Date | Task End Date | Task Budget

123          1/26/23                2/10/23           2

I want to write a measure to calculate how many weeks the task crosses so that I can multiply the task budget by that amount. So the example here the task would cross 3 weeks, so the result would be 6. 

The week starts Monday. Even if the task starts on a Friday, that would still be counted as crossing a full week, so from 1/27 to 1/30 would still be 2 weeks. 

I am including multiple filters for specific task types so the ultimate solution will be more complex, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this piece first. 

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Anonymous 

please try

Total Budget =
SUMX (
Tasks,
(
WEEKNUM ( Tasks[Task End Date], 2 ) - WEEKNUM ( Tasks[Task Start Date], 2 ) + 1
) * Tasks[Task Budget]
)

Thank you - this is almost perfect.

There is something weird happening where i am getting negative numbers for some. I think it might be in cases where the Start date is in December 2022 and end date is in 2023. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Please try

Total Budget =
SUMX (
    Tasks,
    VAR StartWeek =
        WEEKNUM ( Tasks[Task Start Date], 2 )
    VAR EndWeek =
        WEEKNUM ( Tasks[Task End Date], 2 )
    VAR NumOfWeeks =
        IF ( StartWeek > EndWeek, 54 - StartWeek + EndWeek, EndWeek - StartWeek + 1 )
    RETURN
        NumOfWeeks * Tasks[Task Budget]
)
