Hello, I work for a large company in the automotive industry, and we measure time using the ISO week and ISO day in our systems.
Today's date is 2023-12-05, which translates to ISO week 49, day 2 (49.2).
I've been attempting to make Excel or Power BI understand this correlation, but so far, I haven't been successful.
Do you know of any solutions that could help me figure this out?

Hi,
This measure should do it. Liked the concept, so tested it:
test =
VAR add_col =
ADDCOLUMNS (
'Date',
"_isoweek", WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ),
"_isoday",
SWITCH (
TRUE,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 1, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 1, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 1,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 2, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 2, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 2,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 3, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 3, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 3,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 4, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 4, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 4,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 5, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 5, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 5,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 6, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 6, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 6,
WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 7, 21 )
= WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ) - 1
|| WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date] - 7, 21 )
> WEEKNUM ( 'date'[Date], 21 ), 7,
BLANK ()
)
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX ( add_col, [_isoweek] ) & "."
& AVERAGEX ( add_col, [_isoday] )
If it works please accept the solution 😄
btw, to explain what it does, WEEKNUM([date], 21) returns the isoweek. what I did is add a column to the date table and check for every date if the isoweek is the same of the previous week for the date - 1 for the first day, date - 2 for the second day etc. For week 1 did the same, but checked if the isoweek is a higher number that the date's isoweek.
You can also do this in Excel. Add a tab with all dates in a column, use this logic to add a second column next to it and use x.lookup to find the value by lookup up a date in the first column returning the value of the second column.
Hi @Unmatick
Possible solution with WEEKNUM funtion. Change return_type as you wish
