Display Bi Weekly data in Line Chart

Hi All,

 

I currently have a line chart with x-axis displaying weekly data and would like to display Every 2 weeks data instead of weekly. Please suggest some ideas to achieve this requirement.

 

From the below chart, I want to show only 06/16, 06/30, and so on.

 

Thank You!

In your calendar table you could add a column like this to group the dates into 14 day buckets.

Bi-Weekly Date = 
VAR _Date = 'Date'[Date]
VAR _WkNum = WEEKNUM ( _Date )
VAR _WkDay = WEEKDAY ( _Date ) - 1
VAR _SoY = STARTOFYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _WkStart = IF ( ISODD ( _WkNum ) , _Date - _WkDay, _Date - ( _WkDay + 7 ) )
RETURN 
MAX ( _SoY , _WkStart )

You should create a calendar table that has a column the groups the weeks together. Call it what you like, Ie "period". It would be something like

 

week, period

1,1

2,1

3,2

4,2
5,3

etc. 
Or you can put the period ending date if you prefer.
