Display Weekly Total based on a report that is generated daily

[hatchda]

I have report which is generated daily to CSV and then imported into SQL every day. The report has no date timestamp, so when the CSV is imported into SQL, it adds a datestamp column.

I want to show display the total count of servers for every Sunday.

01/01/2021: VMReport1

TimeStamp	VMName
01/01/2021	Machine1

01/02/2021: VMReport2

TimeStamp	VMName
01/02/2021	Machine1
01/02/2021	Machine2

.

.

.

01/07/2021: VMReport7 has 23 VMNames

I want to show the total of VMNames for every 7th day of the week. For the example above, it should be 23. The Date Hierarchy in the Field section doesn't have Week as an option.

Hi @hatchda ,

According to my understanding, you want to calculate the distinct count of Machine of each Sunday,right?

You could firstly add a Week column and then use the following formula to calculate:

Week =
WEEKNUM ( [Date], 2 )

Count Column=
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[VMReport] ),
    FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Week] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Week] ) )
)

Or 

Count Measure =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[VMReport] ),
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Week] = MAX ( 'Table'[Week] ) )
)

The final output is shown below:

Please kindly take a look at the pbix file here.

@hatchda create a date table in your model and you should have a column in this called weekday, there are many posts on how to add one, here is one of my post, and then add a measure

Server Count on Sunday = 
CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ), KEEPFILTERS ( DateTable[Weekday]  = "Sunday" ) ) 

On the bar chart, use date on the x-axis from the date table and above measure, it should work.

@hatchda you want to show the count of Sunday or Thursday? You have two different weekdays in your post.

I would like to show the count for every Sunday because I would like have a graph that shows the Total Servers for each week. 

Thanks,

David
