I know I can change the date field granularity to week in AWS Quicksight, and I can also display the date by week number. But as far as I understand, Quicksight defines the start of a week on Sunday, and I need it to be Monday.
Is there any way to start the week on Monday in AWS Quicksight?
Here is a formula for a calculated field you can add that will group your dates by weeks starting on Mondays. You should be able just replace {date_date} with your field name and copy/paste this into the formula box (including the newlines) and it will do the trick.
addDateTime(
1,
'DD',
truncDate(
'WK',
ifelse(
extract(
'WD',
{date_date}
) = 1,
addDateTime(
-1,
'DD',
{date_date}
),
{date_date}
)
)
)
This field will equal the Monday that starts the week your date falls into.
You can put this all in one line but I added the line breaks for readability.
It essentials checks if the date is on a Sunday, and moves it to the previous week and then just adds a day to the normal trunc function so that the weeks begin on Monday.
Acoording to the documentation
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/truncDate-function.html
WK: This returns the week portion of the date. The week starts on Sunday in Amazon QuickSight.
you can use filters to start like here
This is still an issue when using filters and rolling dates as weeks in analytics.
There is an open thread in the AWS community forum.
https://community.amazonquicksight.com/t/starting-weeks-on-monday-show-gaps-on-custom-weekly-groupings/4222
As a I workaround for this, I would recommend defining a column (either in the dataset or as a calculated field) that represents the year_week_iso (ie. 2023-W01 or 202301 if you prefer to have an integer value).
This column can then be used to group data in order to show trends over time when the week begins on a Monday.
The integer version of this column can also be leveraged to show the most current week of data by setting up a Top 1 filter that is based off the max(year_week_iso_integer) →

I am new to Power BI, having below date table
Created Week end date using below dax measure
Week End Date = 'Date'[Date] - WEEKDAY('Date'[Date],2) + 7
Can anyone advise the following?
How to sort the week end date? I created bar graph week end date vs Total hrs(which comes from other table) and it's working. However, axis week end data is not in proper order
How to format week end date into "MM/dd/YYYY" (Currently in "dd/MM/yyyy")
Sorry if this question is too basic. I tried various posts but no luck.
You cut your bar chart screenshot exactly on the ellipsis menu (...) in the upper right corner. This is usually the place to go and change the sort order of your x-axis. (Maybe your data doesn't allow this, but then you would need to post some sample data - no screenshot - as already requested above.)
To change the format to "MM/dd/YYYY" use
End of Week US = FORMAT('Table'[End Of Week], "MM/dd/yyyy")
I am creating a report with buttons that use a slicer to show the last 3 calendar months, the default view, and YTD. The first two are all set and will continue to work fine, however i am having trouble with the YTD filter because i need it to exclude the current month (some of the key metrics for this slicer are only accurate monthly, even thought the data is updated Daily). Any idea how to accomplish this without me having to manually change it every month? An example of it working today would show me 2020 through August, since September is not complete. September would be included in the filter starting October first. I am thankful for your help/insights!
I typically build a calculated column on my date table called something like "Date in Range", that looks something like the below. You could also apply this to a date in a normal table if you are not using a date dimension.
Date in Range = IF ('MyTable'[Date] <
DATEADD(TODAY(), -1 * DAY(TODAY()), day),
1,
0)
This compares the date in the table row with TODAY(), e.g. 14 Sep 2020, minus the day of the month of today (14), effectively getting you back to the start of the current month. This will then return 1 for dates before the end of last month or 0. Filter on 1 or 0 to get your result (or use something more meaningful in place of the 1 or 0).
I have a power bi report with a line chart that has a field called 'EventDate'
I need to add a filter on to this report to say 'only get me the days where the EventDate matches this week number'
I don't want to display the last 7 days as a relative filter.
I need to do it by this week.
Can anyone help
You can use the week in the relative date filtering and it returns the dates associated with the current week number rather than the last 7 days.
I would like to create a dashboard with month to date (MTD) and year to date (YTD) charts. However, I do not want to update my date range each month. A fixed date range would do this. Choosing 1 months ago give the last 30days. Using last month gives me last month and everything from this month. Yet, this month is not supported. MTD doesn't work either. I am using Superset version 0.24.0
I figured it out! Use 1st for MTD and Jan 1st for YTD.
For newer versions of Superset, this quarter is supported for quarter to date (QTD) charts.
I think it can be set on the custom tab of the time range in the chart explorer. There you can use 1st and Jan 1st as strings that are parsed.
TO get MTD put 1st in the 'Start' field and put this month in the 'end' field
Select Range Type as "Advanced", then enter "1st" for Start Date and leave End Date blank. Image has today's date as End Date but leave it blank to get YTD

I've a requirement where I need to compare a column date with current date. If my column date > last sunday's date I need to populate a status. Here, am facing issues in calculating present week's sunday date.
I need to calculate Previous Sunday's date in Informatica expression transformation.
I am not exactly sure about your requirement, however, you can always get the day and based on that subtract a fixed number of days to reach any sunday you want (present week or previous week). You should have a limited (7) set of IIF statements to achieve this.
Eg. If the day is 'Tuesday' (day of the current date) then subtract 2 from the date to get sunday date!
You can write an expression as- trunc(sysdate,'d') in a variable port which is having datatype as date.
The expression would return the Sunday date of the current date. Then you can compare the two dates (your column date and the variable port date) and populate the status.
If you just want to verify the result of the expression trunc(sysdate,'d') you can fire the following query in the oracle db:
"select trunc(sysdate,'d') from dual"
result returned would be the latest Sunday date.
