Help. Numbers are not adding up and I do not know why
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
dbrandone What is result you want in your card visual?

It needs to show 65.00%(Last Week, Week # 35)
dbrandone OK, I can think of a few things. One, check what filters are active on your matrix visual and card visual. Are they the same? Two, try hard-coding the week to 35 and see if you get the right answer. Three, do you have any prior or future years that it could be pulling week 35 from? Fourth, is there a data issue where week 35 is also in some other month
The filters for both the matrix and the card were set to "ALL" so there were no impediments there. Obviously, the matrix had more filters in the visual with the more components it had vs. the card, but there were no visual filters causing an issue.
Interesting though, when I hard code week 35 and year 2021 into each variable, the card percentage comes out right. The weird thing about it is that I went back to all the years in the matrix with week 35 and did a manual calculation and it still does equal the 60.38%. That is of course if it is pulling the data from all week 35's in all years. So it seems that it is something with the Week number column in the date table? Is it beneficial to have a week number column in the date table that goes up, but doesn't reset at the beginning of the year?
I ended up trying this and it seemed to have worked and should keep steady this way, but I am still interested in the reason my Week number column isn't functioning properly or if there is an issue with one of my tables.
