Table formatting

I have a table that shows data based on date range, is there a way to highlight or bold the date that is in a current week?

Hi @RickWelfel 

create the measure and put it in Background color of Values you want,

conditional format = 
VAR _today =
    TODAY () // get current date
VAR _oneweekago =LASTDATE(CALCULATETABLE(DATEADD ( 'date'[Date], -7, DAY ),ALL('date')))//get the date one week ago, e.g. today= 2021/6/21, then _oneweekago=2021/6/14
RETURN
    IF (
        MIN ( 'date'[Date] ) >= _oneweekago
            && MIN ( 'date'[Date] ) <= _today,
        "Yellow"
    )

I was able to get the formula working but giving me a MIN function only accpets a column reference as an argument. 

 

Hi @RickWelfel 

in my sample, 

 MIN ( 'date'[Date] ) 

'date'[Date] is a column.

what do you put in function Min()?😅

This is what I am trying to state: 

current week =
VAR _today =
TODAY () // get current date
VAR _oneweekago =LASTDATE(CALCULATETABLE(DATEADD ( 'Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date], -7, DAY ),ALL('Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date])))//get the date one week ago, e.g. today= 2021/6/21, then _oneweekago=2021/6/14
RETURN
IF (
MIN ( 'Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date] ) >= _oneweekago
&& MIN ( 'Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date]] ) <= _today,
"Yellow"
)))))))
 
 
 
Now its giving me an error of "The end of the input was reached". 
 

Hi @RickWelfel

use:

 

current week =
VAR _today =
    TODAY ()
VAR _oneweekago =
    LASTDATE (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            DATEADD ( 'Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date], -7, DAY ),
            ALL ( 'Combined Schedule' )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        MIN ( 'Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date] ) >= _oneweekago
            && MIN ( 'Combined Schedule'[Start].[Date] ) <= _today,
        "Yellow"
    )
