Current week based on custom field
Hi all,
I need some help with a calculated column. I have the following data:
| Date | Week | Custom week | Value |
| June 17 | 25 | 24 | 5 |
| June 18 | 25 | 24 | 6 |
| June 19 | 25 | 24 | 5 |
| June 20 | 26 | 24 | 8 |
| June 21 | 26 | 24 | 9 |
| June 22 | 26 | 24 | 12 |
| June 23 | 26 | 24 | 2 |
| June 24 | 26 | 25 | 3 |
| June 25 | 26 | 25 | 5 |
| June 26 | 26 | 25 | 5 |
| June 27 | 27 | 25 | 6 |
| June 28 | 27 | 25 | 7 |
| June 29 | 27 | 25 | 3 |
| June 30 | 27 | 25 | 4 |
| July 1 | 27 | 26 | 5 |
| July 2 | 27 | 26 | 3 |
| July 3 | 27 | 26 | 3 |
| July 4 | 28 | 26 | 8 |
| July 5 | 28 | 26 | 9 |
| July 6 | 28 | 26 | 9 |
| July 7 | 28 | 26 | 1 |
| July 8 | 28 | 27 | 2 |
All data is for 2021 and new dates will be added in future. The week field - the week number starts from Sunday.
My custom week starts from Thursday. I need a Yes/No calculated column which I can use as a Slicer to return Yes/No for "Is current week"? (based on my custom week)
So the desired result should be; If I select from "Is current week"- 'Yes', a bar chart should return all values by dates for the current custom week (in this example 25 week- June 24 until June 30). If today is July 1st and the Current week is Yes - there should be values only for July 1st, and etc.
Thank you.
You can add a DAX column using a pattern like this
CurrentWeek =
VAR todaydate =
TODAY ()
VAR thisdate = 'Date'[Date]
VAR todayThursday =
IF (
WEEKDAY ( todaydate ) >= 5,
todaydate - WEEKDAY ( todaydate ) + 5,
todaydate - WEEKDAY ( todaydate ) - 2
)
VAR thisThursday =
IF (
WEEKDAY ( thisdate ) >= 5,
thisdate - WEEKDAY ( thisdate ) + 5,
thisdate - WEEKDAY ( thisdate ) - 2
)
RETURN
IF ( todayThursday = thisThursday, "Y", "N" )FYI that this would be easier in the query with M. Also, please take a look at this article with some Date tables you could adapt, and then set your filter/slicer to Weeks from today as 0 (instead of "Y").Pat
