Design Approach - 4x Week Task lookead Required

Hello PBI Gurus 

 

I was looking for some inspiration on the simplest or best way to achive my visualisation

 

So Im a new member of the team and want to bring some structure with a work look ahead.  I have a date table linked to my source table.

 

My Key Delivery Date is Due Date which is when is the task due. Tasks are spread over months /years.  But Im just looking for whats happening in the next  4x weeks.  

 

As you can see below - This week has 2x Tasks due etc

 

 

 

All help appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Anonymous , Have week rank in date table then use concatenateX

     

    Have these new columns in Date Table, Week Rank is Important in Date/Week Table

    Week Rank = RANKX('Date','Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)
    OR
    Week Rank = RANKX('Date','Date'[Year Week],,ASC,Dense) //YYYYWW format


    These measures can help
    This Week = CALCULATE(concatenateX(Table, 'Table'[Task Name], ", "), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])))
    Next Week = CALCULATE(concatenateX(Table, 'Table'[Task Name], ", "), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])+1))

     

     

    Next Week +2= CALCULATE(concatenateX(Table, 'Table'[Task Name], ", "), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])+2))

     

     

    Next Week +3= CALCULATE(concatenateX(Table, 'Table'[Task Name], ", "), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]=max('Date'[Week Rank])+3))

         Im hoping for some further assistance. 

    I have a date table which looks like so

     

    Date = ADDCOLUMNS (

            FILTER (

                CALENDARAUTO (),

                AND ( YEAR ( [Date] ) >= 2020, YEAR ( [Date] ) <= YEAR(TODAY()))

            ),

            "Calendar Year", "CY " & YEAR ( [Date] ),

            "Month Name", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),

            "Month Shortname", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),

            "Month Number", MONTH ( [Date] ),

            "Weekday", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),

            "Weekday number", WEEKDAY ( [Date] )

        )

     

    Above is marked as a Date Table.

     

    So after creation I added a new column to this date Table called Week Start Date

     

    I then added another new column to the date table using below:

     

    Week Rank = RANKX('Date','Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)

     

    I get the following in my Date Table and I think this is the 1st issue?    See Fig 2

     

    The Ranks shows as all Digit Ones and Week Start is empty  - See Fig 2

     

    Just some further inforamtion:  My Excel Data source (Fig 1)  is super simple and its Columns 1& 2 which is what I wanted to create my look ahead for. Columns 3 & 4 were sanity checkers in excel and will not be used in my calculation:

     

     

    I will come to the measures afyter clarifying above. Sorry to ask such lame questions.

     

    Its very much apprecited.
