Filtering by Start of Week data
Hi,
I am trying to create a pivot table using the "Start of Week" date as a filter. I have created a duplicate date column in the Power Query Editor and transformed the data to "Start of Week". However, when I go back to my pivot table and move the duplicated Date column into the "Filter" field I can still only filter by individual dates rather than weeks. Is there any way I can get the filter to only display the first date of each week?
RE: Filtering by Start of Week data
Hi Jake,
Thank you for your question in STL's forum.
From what you described I believe you have gone through the right process to determine every date's start of week date in the duplicated column.
If you now build a pivottable use the duplicated column with the weekly start dates to the row area of the pivottable then that should show you each week's start date (right click on any year's value and select 'Ungroup). If you add a fiwld to values section it should summarise all the dates' values that fall within the same week.
Now instead of adding the field to the filter section of the pivottable, try using a slicer and add the duplicated column with the start of week dates to the slicer you will be able to filter on the start of week dates.
I attached an Excel file with an example.
If this answers your question, would you please mark it as resolved?
Thank you
