Calculate Calendar Weeks using Union & ADDCOLUMN

I have a formula that works well to use in a slicer so that I can select certain date ranges like Week, Month & Year.

 

Using DATEMTD and DATEYTD work well though I am needing to do something similar for WTD though the only way I can do it is so that I use DATESINPERIOD to get 7 days from today's date.

 

Here is the formula below:

Date Periods =
UNION(
    ADDCOLUMNS(DATESINPERIOD(Applications[Date Filter],MAX(Applications[Date Filter]),-7,DAY), "Type", "Week","Order",1),
    ADDCOLUMNS(DATESMTD(Applications[Date Filter]), "Type", "Month","Order",2),
    ADDCOLUMNS(DATESYTD(Applications[Date Filter]), "Type", "Year","Order",3)
    )

Hi @Austen229022 ,

 

Hope everything is going well.

 

We regret to inform you that there is currently no function that displays data based on the week Today is in.

 

Alternatives are:

 

Date Periods = 
UNION(
    ADDCOLUMNS(DATESBETWEEN(Sales[Datekey], TODAY()-7, TODAY()),"Type", "Week","Order",1),
    ADDCOLUMNS(DATESMTD(Sales[Datekey]), "Type", "Month","Order",2),
    ADDCOLUMNS(DATESYTD(Sales[Datekey]), "Type", "Year","Order",3)
    )

 

 

Drag the fields of the table into the report page for display. The page effect is as follows:

It displays the date from the previous seven days to Today calculated based on Today.

Can you please explain your problem bit clearly. 

I am wanting to have it so that it shows the calendar week - same as MTD and YTD, instead of 7 days from today
