Hi SalvaC ,
In order to solve your pain points, you can create a calendar table like below:
FiscalWeekCalendar = VAR MinDate = MIN( Sales[Date] ) - 370 // Ensure we go back at least one full year VAR MaxDate = MAX( Sales[Date] ) RETURN ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( MinDate, MaxDate ), // 1. Define the Fiscal Year (e.g., "22/23") "FiscalYearForWeek", VAR y1 = YEAR ( [Date] ) + IF ( MONTH ( [Date] ) >= 8, 0, -1 ) VAR y2 = y1 + 1 RETURN FORMAT ( y1, "00" ) & "/" & FORMAT ( y2, "00" ), // 2. Define the Fiscal Week Number (e.g., 1, 2, 3... 53) // This MUST reset for each new fiscal year "FiscalWeekNum", VAR y1 = YEAR ( [Date] ) + IF ( MONTH ( [Date] ) >= 8, 0, -1 ) VAR FYStartDate = DATE( y1, 8, 1 ) // Find the start of the first week (e.g., Monday) of that fiscal year VAR FirstDayOfFirstWeek = FYStartDate - WEEKDAY( FYStartDate, 2 ) + 1 // Calculate the week number VAR WeekNum = INT( ( [Date] - FirstDayOfFirstWeek ) / 7 ) + 1 RETURN WeekNum, // 3. Define a Sort Column for "Week of Year" (e.g., 202201, 202202...) // This gives a unique, sortable value for every week in history "FiscalWeekSort", VAR y1 = YEAR ( [Date] ) + IF ( MONTH ( [Date] ) >= 8, 0, -1 ) VAR FYStartDate = DATE( y1, 8, 1 ) VAR FirstDayOfFirstWeek = FYStartDate - WEEKDAY( FYStartDate, 2 ) + 1 VAR WeekNum = INT( ( [Date] - FirstDayOfFirstWeek ) / 7 ) + 1 // Create a key like YYYYWW RETURN (y1 * 100) + WeekNum )Then create the matrix as in your example and the resultant output is as shown below:
I have attached an example pbix file for your reference.
