How to Add Week Number in Power BI
To add week numbers in Power BI, you can follow these steps:
- Open your Power BI report or create a new report.
- Ensure that you have a date column in your dataset.
- In the Fields pane, select the table that contains the date column.
- Right-click on the date column and select “New Column” to create a new calculated column.
- In the formula bar, enter the following DAX formula:
Week Number = WEEKNUM([DateColumn])Replace DateColumn with the actual name of your date column.
For example, if your date column is named “OrderDate”, the formula would be:
Week Number = WEEKNUM([OrderDate])Once you enter the formula, press Enter to create the new calculated column.
The “Week Number” column will now be available in your dataset.
To use the week number in a visual or calculation, simply drag the “Week Number” column from the Fields pane to the desired location in your report.
For example, you can place it in a table, line chart, or use it in a measure to calculate aggregates by week.
