Hello,
I've only just started with Power BI and DAX very recently, so am quite stuck with relation to this problem i'm having.
I would like a bar chart that will display 3 different results based on the week number of the year I have selected. I would like to select the week (e.g. 'week 35'), then from there I would like it to calculate the previous week, and previous week last year and display the results side by side.
The data is litterally just a 'Week Number' column with a 'Users' count as the value.
Please could someone help me with the steps needed to achieve this?
Many thanks in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
I’d like to give you a sample as below. The .pbix file has been upload here. I assume we have a table like below.
We can first create a calendar table and create two columns with following formula. Create a relationship between these two tables with Date key.
Calendar = CALENDAR ( "1/1/2015", "12/31/2016" )
WeekNum = WEEKNUM ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
Year = YEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
In original table, also create a WeekNum column.
WeekNum = RELATED ( 'Calendar'[WeekNum] )
Then we only need to create two measures to get 'Last Week' and 'This Week Last Year' data.
Last Week = VAR CurrentWeekNum = MAX ( 'Calendar'[WeekNum] ) VAR CurrentYear = MAX ( 'Calendar'[Year] ) RETURN ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Users] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar' ), 'Calendar'[Year] = CurrentYear && 'Calendar'[WeekNum] = CurrentWeekNum - 1 ) ) )
This Week Last Year = VAR CurrentWeekNum = MAX ( 'Calendar'[WeekNum] ) VAR CurrentYear = MAX ( 'Calendar'[Year] ) RETURN ( CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[Users] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar' ), 'Calendar'[Year] = CurrentYear - 1 && [WeekNum] = CurrentWeekNum ) ) )
Drag two slicers for Year & WeekNum and a clustered bar chart into canvas.
Best Regards,
Herbert

@v-haibl-msftAmazing Solution.
I'm trying to use the same code; I have it working for my purpose except I can't seem to use my Datekey or a calculated column in my date table, I have to use the WeekNum value otherwise it doens't work; thoughts?
Thank you very much Herbert, much appreciated.
Your solution seems to be exactly what im after, I will give it a go and let you know how I got on!
Perfectly Herbert, thank you! Appologies for not confirming sooner.
I was trying to recreate this and it works well, I but instead of Users being a number I have Call Reps which is a text field. Can I do something like this with that, I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks.
