Help. Numbers are not adding up and I do not know why

In the picture below, you can see the measure that wrote for Consent rate Last Week. In the matrix below, I have year, months and week number in the row part and then columns. The consent rate is simply the divide function between the other two columns. I put the consent rate measure I created into a measure to get last weeks numbers and they are not matching up. I cannot seem to figure out how these numbers are off.

dbrandone I did invent a DAX week number column that does not reset at the end of the year called Sequential: Sequential - Microsoft Power BI Community

Please the following measure:

VAR __WEEK = WEEKNUM ( TODAY () , 2)-1 RETURN CALCULATE ( [Consent Rate], 'Date'[Week of Year] = __WEEK )
