Last Week vs This Week Comparison

I have following fields in a table "OppHistory":

  • OppId - Unique idenfier for opp
  • Edit Date - Date when edits were made on Opp Id
  • Stage Old Value - The previous stage of Opp Id
  • Stage New Value - The new Stage of the Opp Id

    Here's the sample data:
OppIdEdit DateStage OldValueStage NewValueAmount
AA11/18/2023 10:5051100
AA11/14/2023 16:1145100
BB11/20/2023 5:4034123
BB11/6/2023 5:2213123
CC11/18/2023 10:4341500
CC11/17/2023 12:4614500

 

For each Opp Id, I want to check what was the stage for the latest date from beginning of data till end of last week ( Friday to Wednesday) and what is it this week ( Friday to Wednesday) for the latest date and return the amount.

This is what I want the output to be like:

StageLast WeekThis Week
1 600
2  
3123

 

4500

123

5100

 


Stage is a column from another table "Opp" which is connected to OppHistory with a one to many relationship via OppId. Stage just displays the current value of an OppId

From the output table, Stage 1 has amount for this week = 600 because the stage this week for AA and CC is 1. Similarly for Stage 4, output is 123 amount since this week for opp BB, the stage changed from 3 to 4 which is why for last week it was at stage 3. 

Would it be possible to create a measure to get the expected output above? 
Please let me know if the information I have provided is sufficient.
Thanks in advance

You can try to play around with the OFFSET() formula.
Cool one to solve week-over-week comparisons.

Not sure if this will solve your issue but you can get some perspective from this answer:
To achieve the desired output in Power BI, you can create a measure using DAX (Data Analysis Expressions). Below is an example measure that you can use:

OppHistoryLastWeekThisWeek =
VAR LastWeekStart = TODAY() - WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2) - 6 - 7
VAR LastWeekEnd = TODAY() - WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2) - 7
VAR ThisWeekStart = TODAY() - WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2) + 1
VAR ThisWeekEnd = TODAY() - WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2)

RETURN
SUMMARIZE (
OppHistory,
OppHistory[Stage OldValue],
"Last Week",
CALCULATE (
SUMX (
FILTER (
OppHistory,
OppHistory[Edit Date] >= LastWeekStart
&& OppHistory[Edit Date] <= LastWeekEnd
),
OppHistory[Amount]
)
),
"This Week",
CALCULATE (
SUMX (
FILTER (
OppHistory,
OppHistory[Edit Date] >= ThisWeekStart
&& OppHistory[Edit Date] <= ThisWeekEnd
),
OppHistory[Amount]
)
)
)

 

 

This measure calculates the sum of amounts for each stage for the last week and this week. It uses the SUMMARIZE function to create a table that includes the distinct values of the "Stage OldValue" field and calculates the sum of amounts for the specified date ranges.

Make sure to replace "OppHistory" with the actual name of your table if it's different. You can then use this measure in a table or matrix visualization in Power BI to display the desired output. The measure creates columns for "Last Week" and "This Week" amounts for each stage.
