WK number with DirectQuery

Hey there, could I possibly ask for your assistance? I'm currently in the process of creating a measure that displays the week number, derived from the [DISPATCHED_AT] column. Just to note, I'm working within a DirectQuery connection. Here's the code I've put together //

SKWeekNumber = WEEKNUM(MAX('ORDERS'[DISPATCHED_AT])) 
//

, but unfortunately, it's resulting in an error : "Couldn't load the data for this visual An unexpected exception occurred". Has anyone come across a solution for this? Your insights would be greatly appreciated

  • Hi , SzymonKl 

    According to your description, the connection mode is direct query and you use the WEEKNUM() function and encounter an error code.

    You can check this :
    (1)Whether the first parameter of WEEKNUM is Date or Date\Time Type.

    WEEKNUM(<date>[, <return_type>])  

     

    (2)There is some limitation for direct query mode :

    And you can also try to use the paramter 21 and for some similar case , you can refer to :
