Problem with Week Num in Gantt Chart using Matrix

Hi, I have a problem with the customized Gantt using Matrix that are wrongly plotted in the Week Number portion.

Given with the Date and the Projects Table respectively,

projects 1 through 7 should belong to week 1, projects 8 through 14 should belong to week 2 and only project 15 is starting on week 3.

 

However, when I started to plot them into the matrix with the measure to plot the dates,

I get the undesired plot in my Matrix chart.

Is there something I miss with my measure or with how the date table is coded?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Can't quite see what your problem is, but you can refer to my method and it works fine. 

A calendar table has no relationship between fact table. I think this is what @amitchandak means.

New measure to identify if the day contained in that week.

Measure =
VAR _p_d =
    CALENDAR ( MAX ( 'Table'[start date] ), MAX ( 'Table'[end date] ) )
VAR _c_d =
    VALUES ( 'calendar'[Date] )
VAR _if_in =
    COUNTROWS ( _p_d ) - COUNTROWS ( EXCEPT ( _p_d, _c_d ) )
RETURN
    IF ( _if_in > 0, 1 )

@Anonymous , I such cases it is always better to use an independent date table
