Create Weeks and calculate evolution

[matrin]

Hello everyone 🙂

Hope you're doing great!

I've got an issue: I've got a table with the number of sales during years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) aggregated by day.

However, I want to create a measure to create the dimension "Week", and being able to calculate the difference between a week to another.

For instance, Week 3 in 2020 is the week from 13th of January to 19th of January, and Week 3 in 2019 is 14th of January to 20th of January. I want to get able to calculate the evolution between Week 3 2019 to Week 2020.

Can you please help me? 

thanks a LOT !!!

Hi @matrin ,

You can create these calculated columns to calculate each year week total sales:

Week = WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],1)

Total =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Week], 'Table'[Date].[Year] )
)

If you want to see the evolution, use a line chart and multi select the slicer with year and month:

Here is my sample file that hopes to help you, please check and try it: Create Weeks and calculate evolution.pbix

This is exactly what I need, but I need to see evolutions (metrics) by comparing week 2 of 2020 and week 2 of 2019 in a table.... Do you think it is possible? @v-yingjl

Hi @matrin ,

Did you mean use the Matrix to show it? I don't think it can relfect better than a line chart though the matrix needn't use the slicer.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Can't I just calculate the evolution thanks to a new metric? I need to add the evolution in my table, that is why

@matrin , You can weekrank and week number for that to compare Same week 364 day behind or 52 week behind. Have date table with following columns

Week Start date = 'Date'[Date]+-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)+1
Week End date = 'Date'[Date]+ 7-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2)
Week Number = WEEKNUM([Date],2)
Week = if('Date'[Week Number]<10,'Date'[Year]*10 & 'Date'[Week Number],'Date'[Year]&'Date'[Week Number])
Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)

This Week = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])))
Last Week = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])-1))

Last year Week = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])-52))

Week Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-364,DAY))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
