Conditional column between 2 dates

Hello. I am trying to calculate a conditional column which returns a name if a date is between 2 dates. 

 

My data looks like this in one column: 

 

Date
2020-05-27
2020-05-28
2020-05-29
2020-05-30
2020-05-31
2020-06-01
2020-06-02
2020-06-03
2020-06-04
2020-06-05
2020-06-06
2020-06-07
2020-06-08
2020-06-09
2020-06-10

 

I would like to be able to add a name 'week X' for dates between a certain period. Like this: 

DateWeek
2020-05-27Week 1
2020-05-28Week 1
2020-05-29Week 1
2020-05-30Week 1
2020-05-31Week 1
2020-06-01Week 1
2020-06-02Week 1
2020-06-03Week 2
2020-06-04Week 2
2020-06-05Week 2
2020-06-06Week 2
2020-06-07Week 2
2020-06-08Week 2
2020-06-09Week 2
2020-06-10Week 3

 

Thanks

Actually, this will work nicer. Just go to add custom column then copy in this. 

 

Date.WeekOfYear(Date.AddWeeks([Date],-21),Day.Wednesday)

You can also download the test PBIX doc I created to see how I've achieved it.

Hi Karlos. This has kind of worked, but for any date before the 28th May (when the programme started) its showing incorrect weeks. Is there a way so it will show null for anything before the start date?

 

Thanks

@Anonymous here you go. I've also updated the one drive file. 

 

 

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Custom.2", each if [Date] > #date(2020,5,27) then Date.WeekOfYear(Date.AddWeeks([Date],-21),Day.Wednesday) else null)

 

if [Date] > #date(2020,5,27) then Date.WeekOfYear(Date.AddWeeks([Date],-21),Day.Wednesday) else null

 

  If this solution works for you, please mark it as accepted and hit that thumbs up.

= Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type1", "Custom", 
each if [Date] >= #date(2020, 6, 10) then "Week 3" 
else if [Date] >= #date(2020, 6, 3) then "Week 2" 
else if [Date] >= #date(2020, 5, 27) then "Week 1" 
else null)
