HI @Anonymous,

AFAIK, current power bi does not support cache the historical data.

For this scenario, I think you may need to use a temporary database to import the history records and remark the input date. (check the id or other unique value field in your sheet and compare with existing DB records to remark the input date)  After these steps, you can simply use power bi to get data from that database and design visualization reports.

@Anonymous , does the column have for each week, then you need to unpivot

 

If they snapshot then you need think about DAX append

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
