Anonymous , You can join your date with date table and there you can create  week and use that in the filter

 

columns like

Week Start date = 'Date'[Date]+-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],1)+1
Week End date = 'Date'[Date]+ 7-1*WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],1)
Week Number = WEEKNUM([Date],1)
Week = if('Date'[Week Number]<10,'Date'[Year]*10 & 'Date'[Week Number],'Date'[Year]&'Date'[Week Number])
Week Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Week Start date],,ASC,Dense)

 

You can create a custom Hierarchy if needed

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Thank you for your response.  I do have a dimDate calendar table I am linking my EventDate to, I just didn't have the formula for Week.  If I put Week on my axis, two things.  1.  It doesn't seem to be sorting right and 2.  Instead of showing the year and week number, can I show the date of the first day, like week of June 7th, june 14th, june 21st, etc?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    If you want to show the first day in a week, you need to create a weeknum column and a start date column.

    Please refer the following formula.

     

    Weenum = WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],2)

     

    weenum_star_date = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Date]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Weenum]=EARLIER('Table'[Weenum])))

     

     

    The result like this,

     

     

    If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that we have shared?

     

    Best regards,
