Previous week calculation

Hi everyone,

 

Iam calculating the total number of previous week to have change week over week with code below, but in the result it shows same number for every weeks.

PreviousWeekCount =
VAR CurrentWeekOffset = MAX('CALENDAR'[WeekNumber])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    COUNT('E'[Order Number]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('Calendar'),
        'CALENDAR'[WeekNumber] = CurrentWeekOffset - 1
    )
)
 
Please help.
Thank you guys in advance

Hi guys, @Ahmedx @lbendlin 

 

I have table calendar here, I still can calculate change in Weeknumber  with code above (i guess because it is number), but i wanna display in Weekdisplay (text), so if i apply for Weekdisplay with same code, just change weeknumber = weekdisplay it did not work.

Please help, thank you guys.

week numbers won't work reliably across year boundaries. Safest approach is to subtract 7 days or to divide the day number by 7.

you need to add the following column to the calendar table and then create this measure
numweek = DATEDIFF(min('Calendar'[Date]),'Calendar'[Date],WEEK)

PreviousWeekCount =
VAR PreviosWeekOffset = MAX('CALENDAR'[numweek]) -1
RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNT('E'[Order Number]),
FILTER(
ALL('Calendar'),
'CALENDAR'[numweek] = Previos
)
)

What is your definition of week?  How is this supposed to work across years?

 

Safest approach is to subtract 7 days.
