Week offset in Power Query

Hi all,

 

I have this measure in DAX which works absolutely fine.   I want this to be in Power Query, please help:

Week Offset = 
Var StartOfWeek = 'Calendar'[Date] - WEEKDAY( 'Calendar'[Date], 2)+1
Var StartOfCurrentWeek = TODAY() - WEEKDAY(TODAY(), 2)+1
Return (StartOfWeek - StartOfCurrentWeek)/7

 

Thanks much

Hi @mb0307 

 

Add a Custom column with this code in Power Query:

(Date.StartOfWeek([Date])-Date.StartOfWeek(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow())))/7

I needed the week offset where a week starts on Saturday.  Here's what I came up with - in case anyone else needs it (and - thanks to VahidDM for most of the work!)

 

Number.From(Date.StartOfWeek([Date],Day.Saturday) - Date.StartOfWeek(Today,Day.Saturday))/7
 
(the Number.From gets rid of the time formatting that romoguy15 points out)

I have looked for this week offset everywhere. I was having a hard time figuring how to set it up. Thank you. Your solution really helped.

Great solution. To set the right datatype in one line use this.

= Table.AddColumn(Previous_M_Query_Step, "Name_Column", each
(Number.From((Date.StartOfWeek([Datum])-Date.StartOfWeek([Huidige_Datum]))/7)),Int64.Type)

Excellent solution, do you know how to change the number to be a whole number all within the same formula? Just to take out the the time zeros from the number
