You need to create a custom calendar

 

 

Date = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(2020,1,1),DATE(2023,12,31)),
      "Week Day",WEEKDAY([Date],14), //start of the week is thursday
      "Weeknum" ,WEEKNUM([Date],14),
      "Year" , Year([Date])
      )

 

 

and only then count the sliding weeks of the year,

 

 

rolling weeks = 
VAR _CurrentWeek =
    MAX('Date'[Weeknum])
RETURN
    CALCULATE([total],'Date'[Weeknum]<=_CurrentWeek)

Do you have more than one year in the table?

Probably there is a better way, but i would do:

where 

 

Weekday = WEEKDAY(Tabla[Date].[Date],2)
 
Weeknum = calculate(count(Tabla[Weekday]),FILTER(Tabla,Tabla[Weekday]=4),FILTER(Tabla,Tabla[Date].[Date]<=EARLIER(Tabla[Date].[Date])))+1
 
Ïn weeknum formula the "=4" it's because your week starts on thursday

Not why sure but this logic was not working for me. I was getting Week nums as attached snapimage.png
