Hi @Chandrashekar 

 

I added the comment:

Column = 

VAR _A = CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Month] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Week] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Week] ) )
    )
    //Get the min date of every week, for examnple, the 16th week is 2024-04-15
RETURN FORMAT(_A,"MMM-YY")
//format the column to "MMM-YY"

 The outcome of variable _A:

Hi @Chandrashekar 

 

Please try this:

Create a calculated column:

Column =
FORMAT (
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Month] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Week] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Week] ) )
    ),
    "MMM-YY"
)

The result is as follow:
