| a | 7 may 2023 (current) | 150 | 150 |
| a | 14 may 2023 | 50 | 150 |
| a | 21 may 2023 | 200 | 150 |
| b | 30 april 2023 | 300 | 500 |
| b | 7 may 2023 | 500 | 500 |

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
Expected result CC =
VAR _year = 2023
VAR _calendar =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR ( DATE ( _year - 1, 1, 1 ), DATE ( _year + 1, 12, 31 ) ),
"@wknum", WEEKNUM ( [Date] + 1, 21 )
)
VAR _calendartable =
ADDCOLUMNS (
_calendar,
"@year",
IF (
MONTH ( [Date] ) = 1
&& [@wknum] > 50,
YEAR ( [Date] ) - 1,
YEAR ( [Date] )
)
)
VAR _todaywk =
MINX ( FILTER ( _calendartable, [Date] = TODAY () ), [@wknum] )
VAR _todayyear =
MINX ( FILTER ( _calendartable, [Date] = TODAY () ), [@year] )
VAR _wkyearstartingdate =
MINX (
FILTER ( _calendartable, [@wknum] = _todaywk && [@year] = _todayyear ),
[Date]
)
RETURN
SUMX (
FILTER (
Data,
Data[item] = EARLIER ( Data[item] )
&& Data[week starting] = _wkyearstartingdate
),
Data[amount]
)

This works thank you heaps!!
Just one question the first line 'Var _year = 2023' does this mean that only dates in 2023 will work for the dax calculation?
