Group Weekly Starting 1/1

Hi,

 

Is there any way to start a grouping of weeks starting on Jan 1? I have this formula:

Date Start of Week = DATEADD(Dates[Date],-1*WEEKDAY(Dates[Date])+weekday(STARTOFYEAR(Dates[Date])),DAY)
but this starts the count of the week on Sunday when I want it to start on 1/1

So for example, the highlighted "1/8/2013" would instead say "1/1/2013" since from 1/1, those two days will be included in the week
 
Thank you!
Sarah

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

try this.

 

Date Start of Week =
DATE ( YEAR ( Dates[Date] ), 1, 1 )
    + QUOTIENT ( DATEDIFF ( STARTOFYEAR ( 'Dates'[Date] ), Dates[Date], DAY ), 7 ) * 7

This was helpful, but it did not group the full week for each year starting on 1/1.

For example, in 2013, there were only 5 days in the week "1/1" since the week in the formula given started on sunday, and sunday was 12/30/2012.

I wanted to display 7 days in the week 1/1 for all years
