System

Description

System 1

The week containing January 1 is the first week of the year, and is numbered week 1.

System 2

The week containing the first Thursday of the year is the first week of the year, and is numbered week 1. That means that week number 1 of any year is the week that contains January 4th. ISO 8601 defines this system and that the week starts on Monday.

note

When entering dates as part of formulas, slashes or dashes used as date separators are interpreted as arithmetic operators. Therefore, dates entered in this format are not recognized as dates and result in erroneous calculations. To keep dates from being interpreted as parts of formulas use the DATE function, for example, DATE(1954;7;20), or place the date in quotation marks and use the ISO 8601 notation, for example, "1954-07-20". Avoid using locale dependent date formats such as "07/20/54", the calculation may produce errors if the document is loaded under different locale settings.


tip

Unambiguous conversion is possible for ISO 8601 dates and times in their extended formats with separators. If a #VALUE! error occurs, then unselect Generate #VALUE! error in - Collabora Office Calc - Formula, button Details... in section "Detailed Calculation Settings", Conversion from text to number list box.


Example

=WEEKNUM(DATE(1995;1;1);1) returns 1

=WEEKNUM(DATE(1995;1;1);2) returns 1. Using System 1, the week containing January 1 is the first week of the year.

=WEEKNUM(DATE(1995;1;1);21) returns 52. Week 1 starts on Monday, 1995-01-02.

=WEEKNUM(DATE(1999;1;1);21) returns 53. Week 1 starts on Monday, 1999-01-04.
