In real-life scenarios, the Excel WEEKNUM function is rarely used on its own. The above formula returns 16, which is the number of the week containing April 15, 2015, with a week beginning on Monday. Instead of referring to a cell, you can specify the date directly in the formula by using the DATE(year, month, day) function, for example: If you'd rather begin with some other day of the week, say Monday, then use 2 in the second argument: In the above formula, the return_type argument is omitted, which means that the default type 1 is used - the week beginning on Sunday. The following screenshot demonstrates how you can get week numbers from dates with the simplest =WEEKNUM(A2) formula: Excel WEEKNUM formulas to convert date to week number (from 1 to 54) Return types 11 through 21 are supported in Excel 2010 and Excel 2013 only. In Excel 2007 and earlier versions, only options 1 and 2 are available. It is commonly known as the European week numbering system and it is used mainly in government and business for fiscal years and timekeeping.Īll of the return types listed above apply to System 1, except for return type 21 that is used in System 2. In this system, the week starts on Monday and the week containing the first Thursday of the year is considered week 1.
2013 WEEK NUMBER ISO
This is the ISO week date system that is part of the ISO 8601 date and time standard. In this system, the week traditionally starts on Sunday. The week containing January 1 is considered the 1 st week of the year and is numbered week 1. In the WEEKNUM function, two different week numbering systems are used: Monday (used in System 2, please see the details below.) Here is a complete list of the return_type values supported in WEEKNUM formulas. If omitted, the default type 1 is used (the week beginning on Sunday). Return_type (optional) - a number that determines on which day the week begins.This can be a reference to a cell containing the date, a date entered by using the DATE function or returned by some other formula. Serial_number - any date within the week whose number you are trying to find.However, I prefer to extend the date object with the method instead. You can use it like this: var d = new Date()
2013 WEEK NUMBER FULL
Calculate full weeks to nearest Thursday Var yearStart = new Date(d.getFullYear(), 0, 1) Set to nearest Thursday: current date + 4 - current day numberĭ.setDate(d.getDate() + 4 - (d.getDay() || 7)) * Note that dates in one year can be weeks of previous * between that date and the first day of that year. * Algorithm is to find nearest thursday, it's year * For a given date, get the ISO week number There are several scripts out there which can do that. Neither JavaScript nor Globalize has a method for getting the week number.

If you try January the 6th it will show week 1, and January the 7th will show week 2. That’s the only exception that I’ve found. The result follows: Figure 5: ISO week number Var week = calendar.GetWeekOfYear(theDate, CalendarWeekRule.FirstFourDayWeek, DayOfWeek.Monday) Var theDate = new DateTime(2013, 12, 31) Let’s prove that with some code: using System.Globalization

However, if we examine the calendar in Windows it will show the following for January 2013: Figure 4: Week bugīy the ISO definition, the 31st of December should be part of week 1, 2013. The output follows: Figure 3: Different week numbers for first week of year. Week = calendar.GetWeekOfYear(theDate, formatRules.CalendarWeekRule, formatRules.FirstDayOfWeek) = new CultureInfo("en-US") Ĭalendar = įormatRules = Var week = calendar.GetWeekOfYear(theDate, formatRules.CalendarWeekRule, formatRules.FirstDayOfWeek) To get the week of the year you simply invoke: using System.Globalization In the United States, (amongst several countries) the week starts with Sunday, and the first week of the year begins with January 1st. But that’s if you follow the ISO specification as shown in the Swedish calendar below.

The first week of 2013 started with 31st of December this year, while it started with the 2nd of January the year before. The first week of the year is either calculated by finding the first of January or the week including January 4th. Week numbers are complicated, since there are different ways to calculate which week it is.
