Power BI Week Number and Year

Hi, I am trying to produce a new column which converts a date field to a week number and year. I have the following DAX formula:

 

WEEK: WEEKNUM('Overbooking'[DATE]), 

 

The DATE is in the following format: 05/10/2020 00:00:00.

 

Which produces a week number in a new column, but does anyone know how I can have the week number and year combined, for example in the following format "41 - 2020".

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

As @parry2k suggested, you could simply use FORMAT() function. 

 

And if you want to calculate week started on Monday instead of Sunday, you could use the following formula:

 

Column = WEEKNUM([Date],2) &"-"&YEAR([Date])

 

 

Please take a look at the differences between these two method:

@Anonymous try this

 

Week Year = FORMAT ( Table[Date], "WW-YYYY" )
