Hi Anonymous ,

To get the date of last week and this week, please try the following formula:

SpecialDates = 
var _datetable = DateTable2
var _today = TODAY()
var _month = MONTH(TODAY())
var _year = YEAR(TODAY())
var _thismonthstart = DATE(_year,_month,1)
var _thisyearstart = DATE(_year,1,1)
var _lastmonthstart = EDATE(_thismonthstart,-1)
var _lastmonthend = _thismonthstart-1
var _thisquarterstart = DATE(YEAR(_today),SWITCH(TRUE(),_month>9,10,_month>6,7,_month>3,4,1),1)
var _lastquarterstart = EDATE(_thisquarterstart, -3)
VAR _thisweek = WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2)

return UNION(
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]=_today),"Period","Today","Order",1),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]=_today-1),"Period","Yesterday","Order",2),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-7),"Period","Last 7 Days","Order",3),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thismonthstart),"Period","This Month","Order",4),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_lastmonthstart && [Date]<_thismonthstart),"Period","Last Month","Order",5),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thisquarterstart),"Period","This Quarter","Order",6),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_lastquarterstart && [Date]<_thisquarterstart),"Period","Last Quarter","Order",7),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thisyearstart),"Period","This Year","Order",8),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-30),"Period","Last 30 Days","Order",9),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-60),"Period","Last 60 Days","Order",10),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-90),"Period","Last 90 Days","Order",11),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-120),"Period","Last 120 Days","Order",12),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,WEEKNUM([Date],2)=_thisweek),"Period","This Week","Order",13),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,WEEKNUM([Date],2)=_thisweek-1),"Period","Last Week","Order",14)
)

If you want to compare data between this month and last month, you can try adding the Period field to the Small multiples pane and then adjusting the number of rows and columns as needed.

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Hi Anonymous ,

I'm very sorry that I did not consider the different years in my previous calculation. Please try the following formula:

SpecialDates = 
var _datetable = DateTable2
var _today = TODAY()
var _month = MONTH(TODAY())
var _year = YEAR(TODAY())
var _thismonthstart = DATE(_year,_month,1)
var _thisyearstart = DATE(_year,1,1)
var _lastmonthstart = EDATE(_thismonthstart,-1)
var _lastmonthend = _thismonthstart-1
var _thisquarterstart = DATE(YEAR(_today),SWITCH(TRUE(),_month>9,10,_month>6,7,_month>3,4,1),1)
var _lastquarterstart = EDATE(_thisquarterstart, -3)
VAR _thisweek = WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2)

return UNION(
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]=_today),"Period","Today","Order",1),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]=_today-1),"Period","Yesterday","Order",2),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-7),"Period","Last 7 Days","Order",3),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thismonthstart),"Period","This Month","Order",4),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_lastmonthstart && [Date]<_thismonthstart),"Period","Last Month","Order",5),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thisquarterstart),"Period","This Quarter","Order",6),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_lastquarterstart && [Date]<_thisquarterstart),"Period","Last Quarter","Order",7),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thisyearstart),"Period","This Year","Order",8),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-30),"Period","Last 30 Days","Order",9),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-60),"Period","Last 60 Days","Order",10),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-90),"Period","Last 90 Days","Order",11),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-120),"Period","Last 120 Days","Order",12),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,WEEKNUM([Date],2)=_thisweek && YEAR([Date])=_year),"Period","This Week","Order",13),
    ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,WEEKNUM([Date],2)=_thisweek-1 && YEAR([Date])=_year),"Period","Last Week","Order",14)
)

This worked perfectly fine for me. Just one query..

In the code you have mentioned (-2) which basically takes from Monday. My data is basically picked up from ServiceNow..so when I select Last week it takes as below.

Last Week :- (30th August 2021 00.00.00 hrs (Monday) to 5th September 2021 23.59.59 (Sunday). So can the above query be modified to achieve this? or is there any other way. The reason I want it is some times there are few tickets that might be missed if its not considered the time so there will be a count mis match.

Hi Anonymous ,

I think it would be more convenient to add date columns, like this:

Create date = FORMAT('Incident Table'[Created datetime], "m/d/yyyy")
Resolved date = FORMAT('Incident Table'[Resolved Datetime], "m/d/yyyy")

  Thanks for all the solutions!
  
  Though, Im still stuck with the This Week and Last Week as the counts are showing incorrect as shown below. The Code and Relationship all remain same, just dont know why the This is not exactly working correctly. When I check on ServiceNow its showing 39 created tickets for this Week and when I filtered the data in PBI its showing 39 so its nothing got to do with the import. Its only the THIS WEEK Slicer selection showing incorrect count. There is some mismatch with formula or dax we are creating...can you check this?

    Hi Anonymous ,
    
    When you select “This Week”, do all the dates in the associated table display correctly?
