Calculate code by weeks

 

I have a table with a startDateTime and Code1.

I need to be able to Filter the date using a calendar table by doing

FILTER(ALL('Calendar'[Date]), 
    AND('Calendar'[Date] >= TODAY(), 'Calendar'[Date] <= TODAY()+27)))

Then I have to CALCULATE the Code1 by categories 

Finally I will need to create a table that will have the weeks(WK), code1(Code) and Sum of the codes by category(CountOfCode)

 

I tried to use CALCULATE to SUM code1 by category and Filter by date but I am getting an error.

 

This is the code that is not working

sumcode = CALCULATE(SUM(MovesConfirm[Code1]),
FILTER(ALL('Calendar'[Date]), 
    AND('Calendar'[Date] >= TODAY(), 'Calendar'[Date] <= TODAY()+27)))

The error that I am getting is that SUM can only work with numbers.

Can someone please help? I an new to DAX.

 

 

The 1st table is the raw data and the 2nd table is what the final result.

HI @TiaCamilian ,

 

You can try to use following measure if it works for your requirement:

 

SumCode6 =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( MovesConfirm[Code1] ),
    ALLSELECTED ( 'MovesConfirm' ),
    VALUES ( 'MovesConfirm'[WeekNumber] )
)

Correct, SUM will not work with text, perhaps try COUNT or COUNTA

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried the following:

SumCode6 = 
 CALCULATE(COUNT(MovesConfirm[Code1]),
FILTER(ALL('Calendar'), 
    AND('Calendar'[Date] >= TODAY(), 'Calendar'[Date] <= TODAY()+27)))

This is counting the Code1 colum by date. I need to calculate by week and needs to be between TODAY() and TODAY()+27

 

I created a colum with the following code

WeekNumber4 = IF(MovesConfirm[DateWithoutTime] = TODAY(), "WK1") & IF(MovesConfirm[DateWithoutTime] = Today()+1, "WK2")

To put WK1, WK2, WK3 and WK4 I need to do this repeted IF statement by TODAY() and TODAY()+ 1, etc. 

to distingush the weeks. I was hopping that once I have this code I can calculate the code1 by WeekNumber4?

 

This is an exaple of my new data:

 

Code1  DateWithoutTime  SumCode6 WeekNumber

Cof       2/19/2019               4                WK1

En        2/19/2019                1               WK1

Mai      2/19/2019                3               WK1

 

That SumCode6 is counting by date but I want to count by week.

 

Any help?

 

Thank you.
