your weekfield is a datefield, so you Need to define a new field

for example:

Sales:
load * Inline [
Brand, Week, Sales, SuperSales
A, 12.07.2015, 2836, 118
A, 14.12.2015, 2242, 106
A, 21.12.2015, 3751, 147
]
;

left join(Sales)
load *,
week(Week) as WeekNr
Resident Sales;

then you can use this Expression:

=sum({<WeekNr={'$(=max(WeekNr)-1)'}>}Sales/SuperSales)

you my use eitehr Week  or WeekNr as dimension

if you use a mastercalendar (the best choice anyway) you may Need the weekfield from mastercalendar

what is your Dimension? weekfield

and your Expression?

and your data from Excel contains data sales/supersales from this year

so you may use my Expression: sum({<yourweekfield={'$(=max(yourweekfield)-1)'}>}sales/supersales)

or you define a calulated Dimension: if (yourweekfield = week(today()-1, yourweekfield) and

Expression sum(sales/supersales)

sorry Little mistake (equal sign was missing before max)

=sum({<Week={'$(=max(Week)-1)'}>}Sales/SuperSales

I defined inline table and defined Week as Dimension and above expression

Sales:
load * Inline [
Week, Sales, Supersales
24, 100, 10
24, 150, 5
25, 200, 10
]
;
