Hi Everyone ,

 

I have daily sales data  from 2019 to 2021.

I want to do check for trend/pattern that how the sales is behaving in the first week of every month and last week of every month. 

 

how I can convert that daily sales and also how to extract only 1st week of every month  ?

 

Please suggest some ideas to do that.

 

For example data representation:

Date Daysales
03-01-2019Friday10000
03-02-2019Saturday6000
03-03-2019Sunday5000
03-04-2019Monday8500

03-05-2019

Tuesday9320

03-06-2019

Hi @ash25sumbre, Try using below formula to get week number which resets every month. I am sure this will help you to find 1st week of every month

1 + ToNumber(DateTimeFormat([date],"%W")) -
ToNumber(DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd([date], 1 - ToNumber(DateTimeFormat([date],"%d")),"days"),"%W"))

Hi @ash25sumbre,

 

Is this helpful?

Converted the date field to a workable date format using the datetime parse. Did a quick rename in the select and used my formatted date to get the first and last day of each month.

 

Fist of month = DateTimeTrim([Date],'firstofmonth')

Last of month = DateTimeTrim([Date],'lastofmonth')

 

To group first of the month and get sum of sales, you can add a summarize after to group by the first of month field and sum the sales field.

 

Please mark this as a solution if it has helped you solve your problem.

 

Thanks,

Carli
