Calling Power BI Champion, I need your expert advise, please.

Hi there! I hope all is well with you.

If you happen to be one of the Power BI champions out there, I would appreciate it much if you could give me some support in getting the result I am aiming.

Basically, I have this spreadsheet showing the resources weekly of each employee, similar to the one shown in Figure 01.

Figure 01: Resource spreadsheet in Excel

Next, I decided to create a Power BI dashboard using the data in the “Resource spreadsheet” Excel document.

Then I came up with this one:

Figure 02: Resource spreadsheet Power BI Dashboard

Assuming today is Week 48, Tuesday (Day 2), I’ve added a “Card” visualisation to show “Project01” for employee Name01 (assuming I have selected “Name01” on my “Slicer” filter for the “Employee Name”).

Then what I would like to happen the next time I open my Power BI, say on Monday next week (Week 49), the “Card” opposite each “Week Day Name” will update automatically and give me the values of Week 49 as shown below (assuming I have selected “Name01” on my “Slicer” filter for the “Employee Name”).

Figure 03: Employee Name01 Week 49 Work Load

And my Power BI dashboard should look like in Figure 04.

Similarly, for Employee Name02, the Power BI dashboard should look like in Figure 05.

Figure 05: Employee Name02 Week 49 Work Load Power BI dashboard

The help I would like to ask is whether you could please help me in writing the DAX formula or method which will return a value based on the current day of the week and the corresponding week number.

Once again, I really appreciate it much if you could help me in solving this little puzzle of mine.

I’m looking forward to the support.

Cheers.

Drawing Issue Sheet / Drawing Transmittal from Revit

My engineers in one of the projects I am involved with are happy with me producing the drawing issue sheet from Revit. Having it done this way will eradicate the potential error of manual typing and this will make sure that you are issuing your drawings with the correct drawing revision number/code plus you can track the previous revisions easily.

Here is the link for the video demonstration I created sometime in March last year:

Have a nice day!

Here is another polite request:
