    Create this as a calculated column wherever you want to do your date filtering (i.e. Date table)

    WEEKNUM = IF(
	WEEKDAY([Date], 1) < 4),
	WEEKNUM([Date], 1),
	WEEKNUM([Date], 1) + 1
)

     

    This will place Week Numbers next to all of your lines.  Now you can do your filtering based on Weeknumbers.  If you do this as part of a Date Dimension table, you can do a lookup from any date to the WeekNumber

Hi Anonymous

 

If you look up the WeekDay function in Excel the second parameter also accepts values from 11 to 17. 

 

The weekday function in dax wroks in the same manner as excel although the documentation you referred to does not say so.

 

You can try out various values 1 to 3, 11 to 17 as the second parameter and see what you get.

 

Cheers
