How to show just the week number in my chart when I have data from several years

Hi guys.

 

I'm trying to make a line chart showing a development in the number of customers in my company. On the x axis I want to show the week number, but I have several years of data. I managed to make a column showing the week numbers like this: 201738, but I don't think this looks very good in my chart. Is it possible to show just the week numbers but still sort after years?

 

Hope some of you can help,

Thanks!

I tried a range of different stuff, and this is how I best solved my problem:

 

First of all I made a calendar table

Date = CALENDAR (DATE(2015;1;1); DATE(YEAR(LASTDATE(...));Month(LASTDATE(....));DAY(LASTDATE(...))))

 

I then made a hierachy with week and year. Drilled down my chart to the lowest level. Went to formatting pane to switch off the concatenation and then I had my weeks in the right order with the year showing below.

 

To show latest 10 weeks I used the date table to make a relative slicer.

Hi @_Kristina_

You can try @SivaMani approach. The solution is correct.


But you can add the Year in the visual under the WeekNum so there will be only a WeekNum per year

Hope Tant Helps

Thank you both @vcastello @SivaMani 🙂

@_Kristina_,

 

Create a calculated column like below,

 

WeekNo = WEEKNUM(Table[Date],1)

 

1 -> week begins on Sunday

2 -> week begins on Monday

@SivaMani Thanks, but I already tried this. The problem is that in my chart, all of the week 1 will be in one point on the axis, all of the week 2s will be in another point and so on. I need to sort after both year and week. Don't know if it makes any sense.

 

Thanks 🙂

@_Kristina_,

 

In that case, 

Better to keep the year with week number
