I am having trouble with a line graph visual, where the data is organized by week number and by year number. However when I put the information into the visual and try viewing both 2020 & 2021, it rearranges the data in the order of 2021 & 2020. How do i get it to properly see the data in the correct order of week number by year?
I tried sorting the week # by an index value, also by year, also by week... with no luck
From the images it looks like there is no sort on the year and week, just by the week.
You need to add a column that has a year week key, that you can sort by.
For example 202101 for the week one of 2021.
Assuming you have a date like dd/mm/yyyy format, for example 11/04/2021 in DAX you can use:
YearWeek = YEAR('Table'[Date]) & WEEKNUM('Table'[Date])
This should now sort the data correctly. If you want you can add another column, that is more user friendly like WK01-2021, if you wish, you can then sort by that column, or use the new key column to sort the textual one.
If you just have a year and week column, create a new column that concatenates the two.
For this you should have a Calendar table, that contains a the date groupings that you you need. For example using CALENDARAUTO or you can do it in Power Query here or here.
This actually does not give the correct sequence, when you are dealing with single digit week numbers. For example when dealing with the first ten weeks of 2020, the sequence would be 20201, 202010,20202, 20203... which is obviously wrong.
Here you need a double digit Week number, so a small change in the suggested formula should do it:
YearWeek = YEAR('Table'[Date]) & FORMAT(WEEKNUM('Table'[Date]),"00")
The sequence should now work.

I am rather new to SSRS and am struggling with how I can achieve this.
Basically I need to calculate variance between two months, and have achieved this with the use of PREVIOUS() function. Similar to another person who has posted this on another forum.
However, the user has got back and wanted to sort months by descending, similar to the example shown below. Is there a way to do this in SSRS? As what I have gotten is that the 'previous' column is now referencing a future month and the calculations are now all wrong.
I have tried LOOKUP in SSRS, using DENSE in sql and all does not seem to work.
You can use the following workaround
Sort by month in descending order.
Add a total column.
Hide last month columns.
March will be displayed on February, February on January and January on the total columns
On the total column you will use expressions to display January.
Your design will look like the colored tablix
Expressions will be like these below
orange: =Previous(SUM(Fields!val.Value), "month2") /* previous value to display it as current */
yellow: =Sum(Fields!val.Value) /* current value to diplay it as previous */
green: =First(Fields!month.Value) /* First month of dataset */
cyan: =ReportItems!val2.value /* previous cell value to display it as first month */
Result will look like the image below
I have a simple Data Studio table consisting of two columns. The first column is the week (ISO Year Week) and the second column is the total registrations we've received for that week.
However, my Week column repeats 7 times (7 Rows) for each week as it's counting by day within that week. See below:
Is there any way to get this to group by the listed week? Below are my settings:
Dimension = Conversion Date set as "ISO Year Week" for the type.
Metric = Equals the count of Conversion Date (Same Conversion Date field used for dimension)
Any help would be much appreciated.
There might be an issue with the date format of the source. Without knowing the source (e.g. Google Analytics or Sheets) it’s hard to tell.
Blended Data
I recently had this issue with blended data. The response of a similar question helped me to find a way.
Basically you have to add a new custom field to the data source with the formula WEEK(date_field_link). Data studio will recognise this as a date in compatibility mode, but for me it still works. Then you can use this new date field as a join key to blend the data while grouping it in weeks.
Normal Data
If this problem appears in a regular non-blended dataset you might want to check if Data Studio correctly catches the date as a date. This help article from Google might be worth checking out: https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/6401549?hl=en#zippy=%2Cin-this-article
I made a similar case work using blended data.
Your column "Conversion Date" repeats the same week 7 times because it's just a display value. Every row has a date value (year, month and a day) but you're just showing the corresponding week. So, data-studio treats them as different data and doesn't group them.
To be able to group them by Week you need to create a new field with a value containing only the week and the year. So, you can use the formula
YEARWEEK(your_date)
The resulting Date will be groupable.
NB1: If your date isn't of the type Date, you can parse it from text to date using
the method:
PARSE_DATE("%Y-%m-%d", your_date_text)
NB2: If the created field has the type number and doesn't show the possibility to change type to Date, you can do this trick: (it's weird but it works):
First type as a formula for the created field and apply:
MONTH(your_date)
This will unlock the compatibility Date types. You can choose from them the ISO Year Week type.
and then change the formula from MONTH(your_date) to YEARWEEK(your_date) [your formula] as I explained above. The chosen date type won't go away even if it wasn't available the first time.
In my program I must manage some holidays. Each holiday can be an exact date, or a repetitive date.
For example:
-6th January of each years
-first day of each month of each year
How would you I save this information on db?
I can't use Datetime because with datetime I can't represent the particular cases like in the above example.
Any suggestion?
If it may concern, I am using TSQL
Sorry for my poor english.
The simple approach, without knowing more about your usage of these data, will be to have three numeric fields day, month, year and interpret them this way: If all three are filled, it's exactly that day and no other day. If year isn't filled, it's the day and month, repeating every year. If only the day is filled, it's the day, repeating every month.
If you have more intricate repetition schemes, you'll need an attribute for the repetition rule, like "every three months".
Of course, every query will need to contain some logic to interpret this scheme, but that's inevitable, unless you decide to have a list of all holidays, say the next 50 years.
I would suggest a 3 column design to store this conditions
Column to Specify whether this is a Day or WeekDay
Column to Specify Day/WeekDay Number (ie 1 to 30/31 for Day, 1 to 7 for WeekDay)
Column to Specify Monthly/Yearly occurrence.(means every month/year)
Eg:- For first day of each month,Something like this : DAY,1,MONTHLY
For Second Saturday of every month : WEEKDAY,14*,MONTHLY (*My Week start is Sunday)
This is not a perfect solution, you may have to add some more column to meet your business logic completely.
I am Using excel 2007 and running Windows 7 Pro. I have 50 Thousand rows with data.
I am trying to do a formula that gives me a value of the next upcoming holiday. I have 4 columns of holidays.
For example: Today's date is 6/3/2015 next upcoming holiday would be Father's Day and after that would be Halloween.
So, from Today's date to Father's Day the value would contain "Father's Day"
After Father's day, I want the formula to automatically replace "Father's day" with "Halloween" And doing the same to upcoming holidays after that.
I have researched forums and gotten ideas to compose a formula. I was able to create one, but the only way I got it to work was with the holiday's date instead of there name. If there is no other way of doing it besides that way I would be okay with it.
Only thing i'm concerned about is Opening, Saving, and Editing a file that large with a formula that big is very time consuming and unresponsive sometimes. I need help and would like to have a formula that dose what I need more efficiently and quicker.Any Ideas on shortening the formula?
Here is my formula:
=IF(SMALL(IF($A$2:$D$2>TODAY(),$A$2:$D$2),1)=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),2,14),"Valentine's Day",IF(SMALL(IF($A$2:$D$2>TODAY(),$A$2:$D$2),1)=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),4,5),"Easter Day",IF(SMALL(IF($A$2:$D$2>TODAY(),$A$2:$D$2),1)=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),5,10),"Mother's Day",IF(SMALL(IF($A$2:$D$2>TODAY(),$A$2:$D$2),1)=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),6,21),"Father's Day",IF(SMALL(IF($A$2:$D$2>TODAY(),$A$2:$D$2),1)=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),10,31),"Halloween",IF(SMALL(IF($A$2:$D$2>TODAY(),$A$2:$D$2),1)=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),12,25),"Christmas"))))))
I have dates in Array A2:D2
I have two differnt ways i can lay out my data. One way is with the holiday's name, and the other is with the holidays date. Examples are shown below... My formula displayed above is created to work with the first example below.
A B C D
2/14/2015 6/21/2015 10/31/2015 12/25/2015
OR
A B C D
Mother's day Father's day Halloween Christmas
I need it to read A-D search for the next upcoming holiday and return the value.
Thanks in advance for any help, tips, and ideas.
If the dates and names for the corresponding holidays are set up as such:
A B
2/14/2015 Valentine's Day
4/5/2015 Easter Day
5/10/2015 Mother's day
6/21/2015 Father's day
10/31/2015 Halloween
12/25/2015 Christmas
This formula can work to get the next holiday from today's date.
=INDEX(B2:B7,MATCH(TODAY(),A2:A7,1)+1)
If the names for the corresponding holidays are not within the list. You can hardcode them in the INDEX formula. Replace the first parameter with an array of hardcoded days, i.e:
{"Valentine's Day","Easter Day","Mother's Day","Father's day","Halloween","Christams"}
Even if we have the dates in a horizontal range, lets say A1:D1 we can still hardcode the days in an INDEX as such:
=INDEX({"Mother's Day","Father's day","Halloween","Christams"},MATCH(TODAY(),$A$1:$D$1,1)+1)
In Solr, is it possible to search for all records in a given month regardless of the year or day ? For example, the snippet below would match everything on 01.01.2013 - what I want to do is find everything that appeared on 01.01 for any year.
date:2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
No, not with a date field. Solr can only deal with ranges of dates, just like it only deals with ranges of numbers or ranges of strings. Asking Solr to only query a date field based on the first day of the month is like asking it to query on a numeric field and only give you odd numbers, or querying a string but only those starting with vowels.
What you'll need to do is break up the date into month and day components and then query on those. If your base field is sale_date, you'll also need sale_month and sale_day. Then you can query on month:3 to get everything that happened in any March, or day:1 and get everything for the first day of any month or month:3 AND day:1 to get everything that happened on any March 1st.
