I have this data below which is collected once a week. I've tried a few differnt ways of plotting this and Power BI doesn't seem to like it. What am I missing and how can I work with this data?
| 1-Jun | 5 |
| 8-Jun | 11 |
| 15-Jun | 16 |
| 22-Jun | 22 |
| 29-Jun | 30 |
| 6-Jul | 32 |
| 13-Jul | 34 |
| 20-Jul | 37 |
| 27-Jul | 40 |
| 3-Aug | 45 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Week = YEAR(Table[Date])&"-"&WEEKNUM(Table[Date])
That is a lot more elegant than the solution I was attempting to work towards. Thanks!
what exactly doesn't PBI like?
I am new to Power BI and have tried to plot similar weekly data. I tried using the formula given in the post but I couldn't get it to work. Please could somebody show me how to do this so that I can show data collected on a weekly basis on a graph, and show the date rather than week number on the axis (just as in the example above)
Week = YEAR(Table[Date])&"-"&WEEKNUM(Table[Date])
@travbum Well since you said "elegant" now I feel compelled to give you the solution that will sort weeks 1 thru 9 properly
Year-Week =
YEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) & "-"
& CONCATENATE (
IF ( WEEKNUM ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) < 10, "0", "" ),
WEEKNUM ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
)
