How to show week number per month?

I need to show how much volume shipped the first, second, third, and fourth week of each month. How can you assign a number (1-4 or 5) to each week of the month?  Thanks.

Hi cheid1977,

 

Please take a try with the formula below in a calculated column:

weekinmonth = 1 + WEEKNUM ( 'Calenda'[Date] )-WEEKNUM( STARTOFMONTH ('Calenda'[Date]))

This formula would work with the month level, which should be no calculated errors.

 

Please reply back if you need any further assistance on this topic.

Regards

You can use mix of STARTOFMONTH and WEEKNUM to do that.

Here is a good video explaining it:

I used this formula :
 
Week = (DAY('Calendar'[Date])+2.5) /7

This solved the problem.

Si tu semana empieza en LUNES, la fórmula quedaría así:

 

=1 + WEEKNUM(Calendario[Date];2)-WEEKNUM(STARTOFMONTH(Calendario[Date]);2)

This is a good solution, but it only works if all the dates are unique.

In some cases, you would use a date column like invoiced date, start date, etc

 I hope this code would help:

Week Num =
 WEEKNUM ( 'Your table'[Your Date column] )-('Your table'[Your Date column].[MonthNo]-1)*4

OK, I didn't fully test this, but the general concept should work, you may have to tweak.

 

These are all columns:

 

WeekN = WEEKNUM([Date])

MonthN = MONTH([Date]) 

Column 9 = IF([MonthN] = 1,1,([MonthN]-1)*4)

Column 5 = IF([Column 9]=1,1,[WeekN] - [Column 9] - 1)

Hard to say without your data or some sample data. I think the right way would be to add a custom column to your Date table.
