Automating measures to update each week
Hi everyone, I hope someone can help with a requirement I have with some measures in a report? I am fairly new to using Power BI so apologies if the language I use is not quite correct. I ha...
The solution is excel based in the original file. The column headers now update each week to the correct reference, for example WC 10/05 is currently called "5" but next week WC 17/05 will be called "5". This means the measure is "Week 5 = SUM([5]) so I no longer need to update the measures manually.
Automatically it is impossible, a tabular format is created by a set of columns that have a name and this name cannot be repeated.
If you load the source data and the system cannot identify the column name, name it Column 1, Column 2, and so on.
Once the column name is assigned, the column cannot be changed automatically, and formulas are either DAX or M-language that reference a dynamic name column would fail.
