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)
)

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?

Yes, thats exactly how it is created.

The code remains same for the Special table no change to that but below is the screenshots of the visualization (correct and incorrect one), models and date table columns.

Not sure why its considering 2020 dates as well

This Week Incorrect one

Correct one as shown below :- This is the correct count as per this Week filter. This is the expected output.

Data Table

Data Model

Model Connection

DateTable 1 - Date Column

Date Column in DataTable1

DateTable 2 - Date Column

Date Column in Data Table2

Not sure where Im going wrong and whats the issue thats happening. Even my system time shows 9/16/2021 format. Even the model is correct all

New Created Column for Count

Incident New Created Column
