var pw= 'Date'[Date]+-1*if(WEEKDAY('Date'[Date])<7,WEEKDAY('Date'[Date]),WEEKDAY('Date'[Date])-7)

VAR PWNAME='Date'[Date]+-1*if(WEEKDAY('Date'[Date])<7,WEEKDAY('Date'[Date]),WEEKDAY('Date'[Date])-7),"MM/DD")

var transin=[Start date] & " to "& [ End date]

VAR TRANSINNAME=[Week Start date] & " to "& [Week End date],"mm/dd"

var cw='Date'[Week Start date(Sat-Fri)]+6

var cwname='Date'[Week Start date(Sat-Fri)]+6,"mm/dd

@mithiladas02 Shouldn't this be:

var result= SWITCH(TRUE()
pw,"prior week"& "(" & pwname & ")",
cw,"current week" & "(" & cwname & ")",
transin, "transin" & "(" transinname & ")"
)

@ me in replies or I'll lose your thread!!!
