Date hierarchy including month and isoweek number, causing aggregate issues in visuals

I have created a date hierarchy year > month > isoweek > date.

I get a problem correctly visualizing aggregates using this hierarchy. Example: when presenting revenue in a matrix using this hierarchy, I get weeknumbers that are split over different months, so I never see the correct sum on the week-level.

in this context the average isn't correctly calculated for week 9 as it is split between feb and mar

When I want to retain drilldown function, for example with a column chart, I get two columns for week 9 (see second screenshot).

enter image description here

I understand the issue for PowerBI it needs to either aggregate on month or week level and can't do both. What sort of solution should I be looking for here? Ideally when drilling down, the 'month context' in the visual can become ambiguous as I'm looking at week-numbers; the dotted line could be on the week 9 column rather than splitting week 9.
