Date Period - This week

Good Evening

 

Hope you are well

 

I have a date period slicer on my PBIX and i need to add two more values. 

1. This week

2. last week. 

 

Below is a picture of ny current visual 

i have used the below dax as a measure

 

Date Period =
UNION(
ADDCOLUMNS(
{today()},
"Type", "Today",
"Order", 1
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
{today()-1},
"Type", "Yesterday",
"Order", 2
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
DATESMTD('Combined Data'[The Date]),
"Type", "This Month",
"Order", 3
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
DATESYTD('Combined Data'[The Date]),
"Type", "This Year",
"Order", 4
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
DATEADD(DATESMTD('Combined Data'[The Date]),-1,MONTH),
"Type", "Last Month",
"Order", 5
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
PREVIOUSYEAR(DATESYTD('Combined Data'[The Date])),
"Type", "Last Year",
"Order", 6
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDAR(MIN('Combined Data'[The Date]),MAX('Combined Data'[The Date])),
"Type", "Show All",
"Order", 7
),
ADDCOLUMNS(
CALENDAR(MIN('Combined Data'[The Date]),MAX('Combined Data'[The Date])),
"Type", "Custom",
"Order", 8
)
)
 
Again, i would just like to add two more options. This week, last week

    Anonymous here is an example on how you can add this and prev week:

     

    Date Period = 
VAR __today = TODAY()
VAR __thisWeek = 
    CALENDAR ( 
        __today - ( WEEKDAY( __today ) - 1 ), 
        __today + 7 - ( WEEKDAY ( __today ) ) 
    )
VAR __prevWeek = 
    CALENDAR ( 
        MINX ( __thisWeek, [Date] ) - 7, 
        MAXX ( __thisWeek, [Date] ) - 7 
    )
RETURN
UNION (
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        { __today },
        "Type", "Today",
    "Order", 1
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        { __today - 1 },
        "Type", "Yesterday",
        "Order", 2
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        __thisWeek,
        "Type", "This Week",
        "Order", 3        
    ),
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        __prevWeek,
        "Type", "Prev Week",
        "Order", 4     
    )
)

      hi parry2k 

       

       i have just used my report and filtered to This month, its returning no data as it thinks we are already in October. From the above code, can you see the reason why?

      last  month only returns 1/9/21
