Calculate total days from a selected date

I have a project currently I am working on right now, and I am struggling to get this methodology to work.

 

For instance, end user selects a date, based on the date selection, it calculates

 

1. Date diff between the selected date and “Referral date”

2. Calculates the weeks based on the step1.

3. Group step 1 ( so it’s the week falls <10 then group 0-10 week, >=10 && <20 then 10-20 etc) I am particularly struggling around the groups which I am trying to do it in a column as Id need to create another column to sort the Week order and need to show this is a clustered chart.

Any help would be appreciated.

To calculate the total days from a selected date in Power BI, create a calculated column that subtracts the "Reference date" from the selected date to get the difference in days. Then, calculate the weeks by dividing this difference by 7. To group weeks (e.g., 0-10, 10-20, etc.), use a calculated column with a SWITCH or IF function to assign ranges based on the number of weeks. Finally, sort the groups by creating an auxiliary column with numerical values for the order and visualize the results on a grouped chart, making sure to set up the axis correctly.

One name for this is "static segmentation". I'd recommend checking out this article and/or associated video:
