Discussion
The WEEK_ISO_FULL() function returns the full ISO week format "YYYY-W##-d". This format indicates the year, ISO week number, and day of week for a specified date. For example, consider the date June 11, 2012:
dim date as d = {7/11/2012}
ISO_WEEK_FULL() returns the following string for this date:
? week_iso_full(date) = "2012-W28-3"
From this string, we can determine the following information about June 11, 2012:
- June 11, 2012 belongs to a week in the year 2012.
- June 11, 2012 falls in week 28 of the calendar year.
- June 11, 2012 is the third day of the week.
If a date falls at the end or beginning of a year, it may be contained in the week of the adjacent year. WEEK_ISO_FULL() can be used to determine if the week for a date at the beginning or end of the year belongs to a different calendar year:
' January 3, 1999 is the last day in week 53 for the 1998 calendar year: ? week_iso_full({1/3/1999}) = "1998-W53-7" ? week_iso_full({1/4/1999}) = "1999-W01-1" ' December 29, 2003 is the first day in week 1 for the 2004 calendar year: ? week_iso_full({12/29/2003}) = "2004-W01-1" ? week_iso_full({12/28/2003}) = "2003-W52-7"
