Solved: Re: 4 week periods based on weeks

Anonymous · ‎02-13-2021

Hello everyone, I have a date table and want to create a column for the period. 1 period = 4 weeks. So the table would have to look like this.

Week	Period
1	1
2	1
3	1
4	1

What functions do i have to look at? Thanks in advance.

@Anonymous , your description is too ambiguous, so I make a guess,

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Period", each Number.RoundUp([Week]/4))

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
