WEEKNUM function

PRO BASIC

In Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro, the WEEKNUM function is used to determine the week number of a specific date. When you input a date into this function, it calculates and returns the week number, based on the calendar year. This can be particularly useful for tracking activities or events that occur on a weekly basis. It's a simple and effective tool for organizing your data by week.

Documentation

Returns the week number of a given date.

Syntax

WEEKNUM(serial_number, [return_type])

Parameter	Description
`serial_number`	The serial number that represents the date whose week number you want to find.
`[return_type]`	Optional. A number that determines the type of return value:
1 (or omitted): Week starts on Sunday; week 1 is the week containing January 1
2: Week starts on Monday; week 1 is the week containing January 1
11–16: Define which day is considered the start of the week (Monday = 11, Tuesday = 12, …, Saturday = 16) with week 1 starting January 1
21: ISO standard – Week starts on Monday; week 1 is the first week with at least 4 days in the new year

Behavior

The WEEKNUM function in spreadsheets is used to return the week number of a specific date. The weeks can begin on either Sunday or Monday, depending on the optional second argument provided. Here's how it handles different types of inputs:

Empty Cells: If the WEEKNUM function references an empty cell, it will return a #VALUE! error.
Text: If the cell referenced contains text that cannot be interpreted as a date, the function will return a #VALUE! error.
Booleans: The WEEKNUM function does not work with boolean values. If a cell containing a boolean value is referenced, the function will return a #VALUE! error.
Errors: If the cell referenced in the function contains an error, the WEEKNUM function will also return that same error.
Numbers: If the cell referenced contains a number, the WEEKNUM function will treat that number as a date serial number and return the corresponding week number.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs if the provided date is not a valid date or if it is a text that cannot be interpreted as a date.
#NUM!	This error is returned when the second argument (indicating the week starting day) is not within the acceptable range of 1 to 21.

Best practices

Always ensure that the cell reference or date provided to the WEEKNUM function is a valid date to avoid a #VALUE! error.

Be careful when providing the second argument to the WEEKNUM function. Make sure it is within the acceptable range (1 to 21) to avoid a #NUM! error.

When referencing a cell, ensure it does not contain text or boolean values as WEEKNUM cannot interpret these and will return a #VALUE! error.

Be aware that the WEEKNUM function will consider a number as a date serial number. If this is not the desired outcome, make sure to convert numbers to the appropriate date format before using them in the function.

Usage

A few examples using the WEEKNUM function.

WEEKNUM("2015-01-04")  
// Returns: 2 (Sunday, week starting January 1 with return_type = 1)

WEEKNUM("2015-01-04", 2)  
// Returns: 1 (week starts Monday, January 1 in week 1)

WEEKNUM("1900-01-02")  
// Returns: 1 (January 2, 1900 falls in week 1)

WEEKNUM(42008)  
// Returns: 2 (numeric serial interpreted as 2015-01-05)

WEEKNUM("2023-01-05", 21)  
// Returns: 1 (ISO standard, week starts Monday, first week with 4 days in year)
