Display previous X period base on user selection

Is there a formula that solve this?

When the user select a period e.i 2021 P13 W4 from slicer, the line chart will shown the selected period value with the 7 last periods value
I've watched some videos about it but of all them uses a specific date colum, our period colum is based on Year + Period + Week (1-4)
These are the periods

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can refer the following links to achieve it.

Display Last N Months & Selected Month using Single Date Dimension in Power BI 

Show previous 6 months of data from single slicer selection

--
--  This calculation item works together with the Previous Date table to show
--  6 months back from the currently selected date in the Date table.
--
'Previous Period'[Previous Period]."Previous 6 Months" =
 
VAR NumOfMonths = -6
VAR ReferenceDate = MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR PreviousDates =
    DATESINPERIOD (
        'Previous Date'[Date],
        ReferenceDate,
        NumOfMonths,
        MONTH
    )
VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        SELECTEDMEASURE (),
        REMOVEFILTERS ( 'Date' ),
        KEEPFILTERS ( PreviousDates ),
        USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Previous Date'[Date], 'Date'[Date] )
    )
RETURN Result

If the above ones can't help you, please provide some sample data(exclude sensitive data) and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. Thank you.

@Anonymous , if you select a period and want data more than that you need independent period /date table.

 

Assume you have an independent date/period table and one joined. You need have rank on this period to make it work

 

Column in both tables

 

Period Rank = RANKX(all(Period),Period[year period],,ASC,Dense)

 

TI using joined table
This Period = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL(Period),Period[Period Rank]=max(Period[Period Rank])))
Last Period = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL(Period),Period[Period Rank]=max(Period[Period Rank])-1))

 

 

This will not work when select 1 and want to display more 

 


//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Period Rank])
var _min = _max -7
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Period Rank] >=_min && 'Date'[Period Rank] <=_max))
