Hello,
I am new to Power BI and on a graph I would like to display data for this week. For example, if the week starts on Monday and today is Monday, it will show data for Monday. If today is Tuesday, it will show Monday and Tuesday data, if it is Wednesday, it will show Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week, etc.
I am trying to achieve similar for "this month" data as well, so it doesn't show the last 30 days, but starts from the beginning of the month until today's date.
Could you please help finding the right direction? Thanks.

HI @VK
This is pretty easy - one of the main reasons I like Power BI.
First thing is that you need to have another table that has just Dates in it.
Create a link between the date data in your Opportunity table and then you can create calculated colums in the dates table that will provide you with the answers.
1. Dates Table
Good table to start out with is http://blog.crossjoin.co.uk/2013/11/19/generating-a-date-dimension-table-in-power-query/
this will give you Date,DayOfMonth,Year,DayOfWeekNum etc.
Then create the following
DAX Measures
Today:=DATE(year(now()),MONTH(NOW()), DAY(NOW()))
DAX Calculated Columns
IsInCurrentYear
=if(YEAR(NOW())= [Year],1,0)
WeekOfYearNumber
=WEEKNUM([Date],2)
IsInCurrentWeek
=if([isInCurrentYear] && WEEKNUM(NOW())=[WeekOfYearNumber],1,0)
IsInCurrentYear = if(YEAR(NOW())= [Year],1,0)
// Column to see if it is the current year
IsInLastWeek
=if([isInCurrentYear] && (WEEKNUM(NOW())-1)=[WeekOfYearNumber],1,0)
IsLast30Days
=if(AND([Date]>=[Today]-30,[Date]<=[Today] ),1,0)
YearWeekNum = Concatenate(Dates[Year],Dates[WeekOfYearNumber])
WTD = IF(CALCULATE(VALUES(Dates[YearWeekNum]),Dates[Date]=TODAY()-1,ALL(Dates))=Dates[YearWeekNum]
&& Dates[Date]<=TODAY()-1,"WTD",BLANK())
// shows if its in the current Week To Date - can use as a filter
RelativeDate = [Date]-Today()
//shows the difference in days between today and a date
// good for looking into the future or so many days back in the past.
EOM = EOMONTH(Dates[Date],0)
//Add a column that returns true if the date on rows is the current date
IsLast7Days = if(AND([Date]>=[Today]-7,[Date]<=[Today]),1,0)
// 1 if is in the last 7 days
IsToday = Table.AddColumn(DayName, "IsToday", each Date.IsInCurrentDay([Date]))
//Column to see if it is the day today.
I use these extra columns all the time.
for your issue you can then just add filters on the page or the report for what you want.
Hopefully this will work.
