I typically add columns to the date dimension YearsFromToday, MonthsFromToday, DaysFromToday, etc. 

Negative is in the past, 0 is the current, positive is the future.

I have access to the DB views, but you can do this in Transform as well. See example, you could also have a "WeeksFromToday"

Then your DAX becomes stupid simple, to use your example:
Sale Count Week 1 = Calculate(Sale_count, DaysFromToday > -7 && DaysFromToday <= 0)
Sale Count Week 2 = Calculate(Sale_count, DaysFromToday > -14 && DaysFromToday <= -7)
....


Or better yet, leave sale count as it is and just apply a filter to the KPI or visual (unless you want to combine different weeks on different lines or etc on the same viz) Then you don't need a new measure for every week.
