Hey All,
I am trying to figure out week over week change for metrics by social platforms (i.e comments on twitter, comments on facebook etc.) What I can't wrap my head around is each post has a different day and metric associated and how I would roll that up. I included the time frame colums I have. Thanks everyone!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
Try this measure please.
Measure = VAR lastWeekAmount = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Append1[Video Views] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar' ), 'Calendar'[WeekNum] = MIN ( 'Calendar'[WeekNum] ) - 1 ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( SUM ( Append1[Video Views] ) - lastWeekAmount, lastWeekAmount, 0 )

Hi @Anonymous,
I think you have done the most of the work. You have week numbers. You can sum up or average base on week number.
I would suggest creating a new date table in case you would use some time intelligence functions.
1. Create a date table.
Calendar = ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2016, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2017, 12, 31 ) ), "WeekNum", WEEKNUM ( [Date] ) )
2. Add a new column to "Append1" due to the dates have time part.
DateForRelationship = [Date].[date]
3. Establish relationship.
Please check this file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!ArTqPk2pu-BkgROntwcC_mRlVBAU. There is a demo of visual in it.

@v-jiascu-msftAwesome, thanks so much! any idea how I would go about now changing this into a week over week percent change like you mentioned?

I used this but the calculation is not showing the right numbers. I have my Fiscal calendar all set with the correct fiscal week number. My guess it has something to do with week numbers the same between multiple fiscal years. Anybody encountered this and have a fix?
I was trying to find a solution to my week-over-week as well and this works until I cross over a year boundary and then it breaks. It's like there isn't a way for it to handle doing a comparison between the week of the year. Maybe, when building the calendar table we need to have a new column which is the number year * 52 + the week of the year...which won't work when we have a year with 53 weeks......*shrug*
Thank you so much @v-jiascu-msft! I've been banging my head on this for a week. Just some quick notes for future people
Calendar = ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2016, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2017, 12, 31 ) ), "WeekNum", WEEKNUM ( [Date] )
The above column add will default to Sunday as the week start date. To change to Monday as the start date, simple put ( [Date},2 )
For me, I needed it attached to my main query slicer. The solution I found was adding a column under my main table
Week1 = WEEKNUM('Append1'[Date],2)
I then changed the WoW formula accordingly to reference the main table vs the Calendar table.
