Calender Date Slicer for current week and sort by Weeknumber

Hi,

 

Ive got a problem building a dashboard, im trying to create a week date slicer for payroll in a datatable matrix,

 

My data is in the following format,

Mark Bob2/01/200012
Joe Blow2/01/200012
Mark Bob2/01/200012
Joe Blow3/01/200012

So ive added a weekday number and name, however can i get the dateslicer to somehow sort by week and maybe have a arrow to goto the previous week and the following week and in order?

@PowerBiNoob37 , Create a sort column

 

Week name sort = weekday([Date],1)  //use 2 for Monday to be 1

 

MArk that as sort column of week day name

Hi @PowerBiNoob37 ,

 

You can try the following methods.

Column:

Weeknum = WEEKNUM([Date],1)

The weekly slicer can be presented in this way.
