Hi all,

as below..
YearWeek Start Of the Week (new calculated column based on YearWeek column)
20211 1/1/2021
20212 4/1/2021
20213 11/1/2021
....

202141 6/9/2021
202142 13/9/2021
is there any way I can do this. thanks for the help

Solved! Go to Solution.
Simple enough with PQ,
let
Source = List.TransformMany({2021,2022}, each {1..Date.WeekOfYear(#date(_,12,31), Day.Monday)}, (x,y) => {Text.From(x)&"-"&Number.ToText(y,"00"), List.Max({#date(x,1,1), Date.StartOfWeek(#date(x,1,1)+Duration.From((y-1)*7),Day.Monday)})}),
#"Start of Week" = Table.FromRows(Source, {"yyyyww", "Start of Week"})
in
#"Start of Week"
| Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension! |
DAX is simple, but NOT EASY! |

HI @amalrio
It would be better to add a calendar table to your model and use that.
BTW, Try this code:
Column =
Var _WN = FORMAT(right([YearWeek],LEN([YearWeek])-4),"####")
Var _MinYear = CALCULATE(left(min([YearWeek]),4),all('Table'))
Var _MaxYear = CALCULATE(left(Max([YearWeek]),4),all('Table'))
Var _Year = FORMAT(left([YearWeek],4),"####")
Var _DateT = filter(ADDCOLUMNS(calendar(Date(_MinYear,1,1),date(_MaxYear,12,31)),"Year",YEAR([Date]),"WeekN",WEEKNUM([Date]),"Day",format([Date],"ddd")),[Day]<>"Sat"&&[Day]<>"Sun")
Var _FirstDateWeek =ADDCOLUMNS(GROUPBY(_DateT,[WeekN],[Year],"Date",minx(CURRENTGROUP(),[Date])),"YW",CONCATENATE([Year],[WeekN]))
return
MAXX(filter(_FirstDateWeek,VALUE([YW])=[YearWeek]),[Date])
