Column to assign value based on week date?

DanS446_0-1715874257789.png

Greetings, i have data of daily notifications and i need to create a column that assigns an Agent to each notification. They take turns each week. How could i calculate what value to set based on the notification date?. If they were 4 agents it could just be with "date.weekofmonth", but with 3, i cant figure it out.

Hi @DanS446 ,

 

Please try:

 

Create a measure:

Assigned = "Agent " & MOD(MAX('Data'[weeknum]) - 2, 3) + 1

 

The final page effect is shown below:

Thanks, its a very simple solution. I tweaked it a bit so it works as a calculated column, works instead with the week number, and it lets me save what notification corresponded to each agent and display some statistics later (i actually needed to set a name for it rather than number of agent)

IF (MOD(data[week num],3) + 1 = 1, "name1", 
   IF(MOD(data[week num],3) + 1 = 2, "name2", 
     IF(MOD(data[week num],3) + 1 = 3, "name3")
     )
)
