Difference between columns coming from same row in matrix

I have a sample data:

Week numberCategorySales
1MessT1234
2WerkZ2345

 

From this I created a matrix table which calculates a sum of sales in a given week. it looks like in a screenshot.

I read docs about how to create a measure with differences between these categories and a % diff, but I am getting blanks. Why is that? 

 

From two tutorials I am trying two columns:

 

the diff2 column is 

 

Diff2 = CALCULATE(
    SUM([items.netRevenue]),FILTER(invoices_granular, invoices_granular[WeekNum]=MAX(invoices_granular[WeekNum]) 
    - CALCULATE(
    SUM(invoices_granular[items.netRevenue]),FILTER(invoices_granular,invoices_granular[WeekNum]=MIN(invoices_granular[WeekNum]) 
))
))

 


and Difference between Cat is:

 

Difference btw Cat = 
    IF (
        HASONEVALUE(invoices_granular[WeekNum]),
        BLANK(),
        CALCULATE( 
            SUM(invoices_granular[items.netRevenue]),
            FILTER(invoices_granular, invoices_granular[WeekNum] = MAX(invoices_granular[WeekNum]))
        )
        - CALCULATE(
            SUM(invoices_granular[items.netRevenue]),
            FILTER(invoices_granular,invoices_granular[WeekNum] = MIN(invoices_granular[WeekNum]))
        )
    )

@Anonymous , Make sure you have separate week or date table and then try approch like

 

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

Hi @amitchandak This is not exactly what I need I think.

I made a separate date table, and changed the formula and still I get blank values. 

I want to calculate a difference  for categories 0 as in screenshot, sales on 7/7/23 for category Messtechnik are 11k, and for category Werkzeuge are 4,9k. I want the difference to populate and show 6k. Instead I am getting blanks.

I followed tutorials and not sure what I missed
