How to get select column1 from table where column2 = xyz in a table variable to reuse it?

I wanted to do achieve this “sql” code in a DAX variable

 

Select WeekYearWeekNumber from DimDate where Date = today()+7

 

 

How can achieve it?

 

 

 

So far I have this code, but the last line doesn’t work because nextw is more than a column…

var nextw =

FILTER(

            SUMMARIZE('Date','Date'[Week Year Week Number],'Date'[Date]) ,                      

                        'Date'[Date]=TODAY()+7

                         )





var NextWCS =

FILTER(

            SUMMARIZE(Staff,   Staff[K_Emp],   Staff[StaffingType],  'Date'[Week Year Week Number],   Staff[IsTmed],

                         "sumat", SUM(Staff[Hours])

                         ),                      

                        'Date'[Week Year Week Number]=nextw

                         )

Hi,

SELECTCOLUMNS is one way to do this:

Next 7 days date = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]=TODAY()+7),"Date",'Calendar'[Date])
 
End result:

Hi @Anonymous 

This will give you a scalar that you can then use in NextWCS

Nextw = 
CALCULATE(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Week Year Week Number]),
    'Date'[Date] = TODAY() + 7
)
