Value from last week

Hello all,

 

I'm trying to collect whatever the value is from last week within a custom column. Below is an example of what it would look like

 

table.PNG

 

I've started the DAX code but currently this only turns blank fields: 
VAR
most_recent_date = LASTDATE('data'[date]) -7


VAR Calc = CALCULATE(
SELECTEDVALUE('data'[rollingRate]),
FILTER(ALL('data'), FORMAT('data'[date], "dd/mm/yy") = FORMAT(most_recent_date, "dd/mm/yy") ))

RETURN

Calc


Thanks in advance for any help!!

Remember that you have to calculate this from the point of view of the visual element if you do this as a measure.

 

So instead of 

VAR most_recent_date = LASTDATE('data'[date]) -7

 

you would say

VAR most_recent_date =DATEADD('data'[date]), -7,DAY)

 

Note that "the value from last week"  is not the same as "the value from the day seven days before the current day"

Please see if the following query.

 

Prev Week Sales =
LOOKUPVALUE('Table'[Sale Value],'Table'[Date],DATEADD('Table'[Date],7,DAY))
 
Hope this helps.
Kindly accept it as a solution if it satisfies your requirement.
