How to Filter by Week in Power BI

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create a week-based filter in Power BI using DAX.

Quick summary

Filtering by week in Power BI requires creating a Week Number column using a DAX formula and adding it to a slicer. Once configured, users can instantly filter any report visual by selecting a specific week number from the slicer panel.


Steps

  1. Click on your visual to select it as the starting point for adding a week filter.
  2. Go to Modeling in the ribbon to access data modeling options.
  3. Click New Column to begin creating a calculated column.
  4. Use a DAX formula to create a Week Number column based on your date column.
  5. Click the check icon to commit and apply the DAX formula.
  6. Review the result — the formula generates a column with week numbers derived from your Date column.
  7. Drag the Week Number column into the slicer to enable filtering data by selecting a specific week.

📌 Why this matters

Filtering by week in Power BI is a common requirement for business analysts who need to track weekly trends, compare performance across weeks, or build time-intelligence reports. Power BI does not include a native week-based slicer out of the box, so knowing how to create a DAX-calculated Week Number column is an essential skill for any Power BI user. This technique gives report consumers the ability to instantly isolate any single week's data using an interactive slicer, making dashboards significantly more actionable. Mastering week-level filtering in Power BI improves report flexibility and helps teams make faster, data-driven decisions.
