Filter for Last Monday through Sunday

Hello,

I want to add a filter to my report to allow the user to run the data for the last Monday through Sunday.  So if today is Wednesday the 6th, and the filter asks if they want to see the data for last week, they pick yes, and it runs from Monday the 27th - Sunday the 3rd.  How would I write the DAX for that?

Hi @aashton 

 

You mean to say that no matter what day of the week it is, you should just filter the data for the whole of the previous week.

There two tables in my pbix file, Table and Y/N tabel

 

Try this measure:

Measure =
VAR _YorN =
    SELECTEDVALUE( 'Y/N'[Y/N] )
VAR _todaynumber =
    WEEKDAY( TODAY(), 2 )
VAR _startday =
    TODAY() - _todaynumber - 6
VAR _enddate =
    TODAY() - _todaynumber
RETURN
    IF(
        _YorN = 1,
        IF(
            SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table'[Date] ) >= _startday
                && SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table'[Date] ) <= _enddate,
            1,
            0
        ),
        BLANK()
    )

Using relative date filtering gets close but, unfortunately, uses weeks starting on Sunday and ending Saturday.

To improve on this, it helps if you have a date table with a week offset column defined using weeks starting and ending on the days you choose.
