Hi,
I am trying to create a column on my date table that shows whether a week is the current week or not like below:
| Previous Week | -1 |
| Current Week | 0 |
| Next Week | 1 |
I am wanting the week index number to ignore the years, as to not reset at 52. I have this working for the month, with the formula below, but can't seem to replicate with weeks...
Month Index = VAR todaymonthstart = EOMONTH(TODAY(), 0) VAR thisEOM = EOMONTH ('Calendar'[Date], 0) RETURN DATEDIFF (todaymonthstart, thisEOM, MONTH)
Any help is appreciated!

Hey @deanbland ,
try this as a calculated column. You will always get the difference to the current week:
Diff to current week =
VAR vTodaysWeek = WEEKNUM( TODAY(), 21 )
VAR vRowWeek = WEEKNUM( 'Calendar'[Date], 21 )
VAR vResult = vRowWeek - vTodaysWeek
RETURN
vResult
Probably replace the correct format of the WEEKNUM function, depending on where you live.

If you need any help please let me know.
