Hi @ApurvaKhatri,

 

You can create a measure below: 

 

LastWeekTotal = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[lease seated]),FILTER(ALL(Table1),WEEKNUM('Table1'[todate],1)=WEEKNUM(TODAY(),1)-1))

What if it is weeknum 1 and we need weeknum 52?

Hi.. Thanks for the reply.

 

Can you explain the signigicance of -1 in the formule.

 

Actually, I am trying to hardcode values of previous 12 weeks data starting from today and going back 12 weeks fo every column.

 

e.g:

 

                            16thoct   9thoct   2ndoct  25thsept ..... till 12 weeks

Total Salary          ....              ....         ....

 

 

Thanks,

Apurva Khatri.

Oddly, there is no PREVIOUSWEEK function. You would need to use a CALCULATE with an appropriate FILTER. I would use something like DATEADD with a -7 days in your filter. Again, oddly, the DATEADD function does not support weeks.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Can You please suggest DAx function with proper filter?
