You need to use Reporting Date for the comparison and also empty selections in Reporting Week:

sum({<[Reporting Week]=, [Reporting Date]={'>=$(=date($(vLWRepWeek)))<=$(=date($(vLWRepWeekEnd)))'},[Reason Group] = {'Upgrade'}>} [Revenue Loss])

You should be using double quotes instead of simple quotes.

sum({<[Reporting Week]={">=$(vLWRepWeek)<=$(vLWRepWeekEnd)"}>} [Revenue Loss])

Whenever something isn't working for you try testing with a simpler version, like using a single variable, using a hardcoded value, etc.

I would try using double quotes and intersection

sum({<[Reporting Week]={">=$(vLWRepWeek)"}*{"<=$(vLWRepWeekEnd)"}>} [Revenue Loss])

Hi, thanks for the reply. although that still didnt work.

My variables are :

LWRepWeek

=Date([Reporting Week Start]-7)

LWRepWeekEnd

=Date([Reporting Week End]-1)

and if i look at the variables in a text box i get the correct dates so i know there isnt a problem with the variables.
