Creating a running total using a measure and multiple date columns
Hi cmarrazzo ,
Create a new calculated column to group the [Date Closed] field.
Week 2# = WEEKNUM('Tickets'[Date Closed],2)Create a new measure that will be used later to determine what week it is in the current context.
Week = MAX('Table'[Week #])Calculate the number of tickets closed for the week.
Current Week Ticket Closures = CALCULATE( COUNTA('Tickets'[Date Closed]), FILTER('Tickets','Tickets'[Week 2#]=[Week]), ALLSELECTED('Date Helper Table'[Day]) )The PBIX file is attached for reference.
Best Regards,
Gao

amitchandak So I understand the logic of this, but the issue I'm still having is getting it by week since week is a somewhat non traditional date type in Power BI.
And will this keep in tact the ability to filter by employee dimensions?
Hi cmarrazzo ,
1. If Week is added directly to Page as an external filter, it can be filtered correctly by week and employee.
2. If you consider starting with models and formulas, you also need to create a new [week] column in the 'Tickets' table, and since it is a many-to-many relationship with the [week #] column in the 'Date Helper Table', you also need to create a new bridge table between them to connect.
It can also be filtered by week and employee.

Anonymous The only issue with this method is it associates week # with date entered only for each row. So it counts number of tickets closed but doesn't count those in the appropriate week.
