Can anyone have some thoughts for it?

You can run a search to calculate previous week date one of the ways would be through makeresults and using relative_time command.
Then you display the same using HTML panel with formatting of your choice.

  <search>
    <query>| makeresults
| eval prevWeekDate=strftime(relative_time(now(),"-7d"),"%Y/%m/%d")
| table prevWeekDate</query>
    <sampleRatio>1</sampleRatio>
    <preview>
      <set token="tok_Prev_Week_Date">$result.prevWeekDate$</set>
    </preview>
  </search>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <html>
        <div>
          <p style="color:blue;text-align:right;font-size:150%">$tok_Prev_Week_Date$
          </p>
        </div>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>

Thanks Niketnilay..so we cannot have dynamic title, but need to include html tags.

@chintan_shah... You can print this in Title also. I just used html as an example.

<panel>
   <title>Data from - $tok_Prev_Week_Date$ </title>
