Power Query Calendar Creation - 53 weeks

Hi Community

I really need your help on how to create a calendar that automatically knows that when it comes to the beginning of 2021, this is still week 53 and not week 1. I have only managed to create a calendar where the week number starts by 1 when entering a new calendar year. But for year 2021: the 1st to the 3rd january is week 53 and then week 1 starting from january 4th.

@PowerQuery @calendar@weeknum
How do i build in this knowledge ??

I rellay hope that someone has the answer to this, t

  • Hi micjensen ,

    This is very complex logic to code into Power Query.

    I would recommend using WEEKNUM([Date], 21) in a DAX calculated column to be honest:

  • Here's a custom function in M code for calculating the ISO Weeknumber (if that is what you want):

     

     

    //fxISOWeekNum
    
    (theDate as date) =>
    let
       a = Date.AddDays(theDate,-1),
       b = Date.DayOfWeek(a,Day.Sunday),
       c = Date.AddDays(theDate,-b + 3),
       d2 = #date(Date.Year(c),1,3),
       IWN  =  Number.IntegerDivide(Number.From(theDate)-Number.From(d2) + Date.DayOfWeek(d2)+6,7)
    
    in
        IWN
