I have created a timesheet matrix table as below. the current column field is Intl week number (e.g., 13, 14,15...). I need to populate the start date of each week into the column header, something like "week14 - 4/4/2022". Is there a way to populate this value to the column header.
It's easy to populate this data in a table, but I have to use a matrix table here, hence there is an issue.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Jeanxyz ,
Please create a calculated column in the calendar table.
Week_Date =
VAR _weeknum =
WEEKNUM ( 'Calendar'[Date], 2 )
VAR _firstdate =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), WEEKNUM ( 'Calendar'[Date], 2 ) = _weeknum )
)
VAR _result = "Week" & _weeknum & "-" & _firstdate
RETURN
_result
Then use this column as a field of the matrix column.

Thank you! Your solution worked. I had forgotten to accepted it as a solution though.
Week Start Date/Wk No = CONCATENATE(Data[Date] – WEEKDAY(Data[Date],2) + 1,Intl week number)
//try this one
Did I answer your question? If so, please mark my post as a solution!

The thing is I can't drag a measure into the column field. I have create a tooltip page to show weekstart data. Maybe someone has a better solution.
