Explore recipe: Creating weekly date buckets

This recipe shows you how to display your weekly data in date buckets rather than just showing the individual week number.

Skill level: Medium

Time required: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 calculated attribute
• Data to measure

 

Create your calculated attribute

To start, you will need to create a standard calculated attribute 

To create your date buckets calculated attribute

1. Create a new query using the Support: Tickets dataset.
2. In your query, open the Calculations menu (), then click Standard calculated attribute. 
3. Under Name, enter a name for the attribute, like Week Bucket. If you want to, you can change this name later.  
4. Enter the formula below:

   DATE_FORMAT(START_OF_WEEK_MONDAY([DATE(Date)]), "YYYY-MM-dd") + " " + "to" + " " + DATE_FORMAT(END_OF_WEEK_MONDAY([DATE(Date)]), "YYYY-MM-dd") 

   Note: You need to update [DATE(Date)] to the name of the date attribute you would like to use like Ticket Solved - Date, Ticket First Assigned - Date, etc.
   For example, using Ticket Solved - Date, replace [DATE(Date)] with [Ticket Solved - Date].
5. Click Save to create the calculated attribute. . 

 

Display your results

After you created your calculated attribute, you can add it and any other data to your query. When using the calculated attribute, rather than a pre-built week attribute, your results will display like the image below:

Alternatively, if you’re only interested in seeing the start of the week rather than the full duration, you can edit the formula and remove + " " + "to" + " " + DATE_FORMAT(END_OF_WEEK_MONDAY([DATE(Date)]), "YYYY-MM-dd").

The complete formula would look like below: 

DATE_FORMAT(START_OF_WEEK_MONDAY([DATE(Date)]), "YYYY-MM-dd")
