Get previous week value with a condition

HI,

 

I have data like this as below. For each date, I want to get the  amount of the previous week where Active column is 'Yes'.

 

DateAmountActiveWeekRank
28/01/2022100Yes4
01/02/2022-50 5

 

How do I achieve that?

Hi @bml123 ,

 

1. I have created a  calendar table with two columns, Date and WeekRank for slicer.

Calendar =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    CALENDAR ( MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ), MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ) ),
    "WeekRank", WEEKNUM ( [Date], 2 )
)

2. Create a measure to sum of the week.

Sum of last week =
VAR _week =
    MAX ( 'Calendar'[WeekRank] ) - 1
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Amount] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            'Table'[Active] = "Yes"
                && WEEKNUM ( 'Table'[Date], 2 ) = _week
        )
)

Hi @bml123 

 

Try this:

 

Previous Week =
Var _Current_Week = Max('Table'[WeekRank])
Var _Last_Week = _Current_Week-1
return
Calculate(Max('Table'[Amount]),filter(All('Table'),'Table'[WeekRank]=_Last_Week&&'Table'[Active]="Yes"))
 
 
Output:

Hi @VahidDM 

 

WeekRank is there in a separate calendar table and is not part of 'Table'.

How do I change the formula to reflect that?

 

@bml123 

 

Can you share a sample of your tables in a text format? and let us know the relationship between tables?

 

BTW, the easiest way is to use lookupvalue to add a WeekRank column to the main table.
