calculate current week data using current week and previous week info in DAX
Hi,
I hope everyone's well.
I am trying to create a measure that uses previous week and current week data. The table looks like the following-
I am trying to create a measure net_product_margin which is calculated by using last week's net_product_margin value - current week 'loss' + current week 'gain'. Here's the code that I tried but it doesn't work perfectly. This does calculate the net_product_margin value correctly for 8th May 2022 but since I am using the column reference_for_1_may it doesn't calculate the later week net_product_margin value correctly.
net_product_margin = var _lastweek = CALCULATE('All Measures'[reference_for_1_may], FILTER(ALL('Dim_Date'),'Dim_Date'[End_of_Week] = SELECTEDVALUE(Dim_Date[End_of_Week]) -7 )) RETURN _lastweek - 'All Measures'[loss] + 'All Measures'[profit]This is how the formula looks in excel.
I have the data from 1st May 2022 in my table so to have a reference I have added a reference column called reference_for_1_may that acts as reference data to calculate later week net_product_margin. I am scratching my head on this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Anonymous , With help from a date table and week Rank
new columns
Week Start date = 'Date'[Date]+-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)+1
Week End date = 'Date'[Date]+ 7-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)
Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)
OR
Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Year Week],,ASC,Dense) //YYYYWW formatmeasures
This Week = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])))
Last Week = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])-1))or 7 days behind measure
7 behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-7,DAy))
