Hi @SH0lm3s ,

You can create a measure like below and use it as filter on your visual.

_filter = 
IF (
    AND (
        WEEKNUM ( MAX ( 'Order/Forecast'[Date Required] ) ) = WEEKNUM ( TODAY () ),
        MAX ( 'Order/Forecast'[Order/Forecast] ) = "Forecast"
    ),
    0,
    1
)

Output:-

Thanks,

@SH0lm3s what is the logic to remove the first row, because it falls in this week, what defines the week? Sun - Sat, Mon - Sun??

Thanks for that.

For example this is my starting file

Date Required	Order/Forecast	Value
10/01/2022	Forecast	10
10/01/2022	Order	20
17/01/2022	Forecast	15
17/01/2022	Order	25

And I'd like to get to this:

Date Required	Order/Forecast	Value	Date Created
10/01/2022	Order	20	10/01/2022
17/01/2022	Forecast	15	10/01/2022
17/01/2022	Order	25	10/01/2022

Is there a best way to do this when transforming the data? If yes how can I learn? Thanks
