Amend measure to sum previous week rather than current week

Hi all, I am looking to produce a table or matrix that sums the number of sales over each of the last 4 weeks. I gather to do this I require 4 measures, one for each week - below gives most recent week, can anyone advise how to amend it for previous week? I am guessing it needs a -1 somewhere but not sure where.

 

Week_Sum = CALCULATE(SUM(Sale_trace_data[Case Count]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Sale_trace_data), YEAR(Sale_trace_data[Date Created]) =YEAR(MAX(Sale_trace_data[Date Created]))&&WEEKNUM(Sale_trace_data[Date Created]) =WEEKNUM(MAX(Sale_trace_data[Date Created]))))
 
I would also like the table or matrix to have a 'see records' function but I only get 'see data', can anyone advise why this is? Thank you

Hi, @Anonymous 

I suggest having a dim-date table.

 

In my opinion, if you have the dim-date table with the WEEK OFFSET column, that can make it easy to create a simple measure.

However, if you do not have a week offset column in your dim date table, please try something similar to the below.

Previous Week Case Count =
VAR currentyear =
MAX ( Dates[Year] )
VAR lastyearlastweeknumber =
CALCULATE (
MAX ( Dates[Week of Year] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Dates ), Dates[Year] = currentyear - 1 )
)
VAR currentweeknumber =
MAX ( Dates[Week of Year] )
RETURN
IF (
currentweeknumber = 1,
CALCULATE (
[Case Count],
FILTER (
ALL ( Dates ),
Dates[Year] = currentyear - 1
&& Dates[Week of Year] = lastyearlastweeknumber
)
),
CALCULATE (
[Case Count],
FILTER (
ALL ( Dates ),
Dates[Year] = currentyear
&& Dates[Week of Year] = currentweeknumber - 1
)
)
)
