Q.? Week numbers

[The_Ernie]

How do you convert an inputted date to a week number in a query please.

Thanks in advance.

 

[ColinEssex]

Use this -

Format([YourDateHere],"ww")

Here's a COBOL program that does that. COBOL is easy enough to figure out so you should be able to adapt this for your needs. You're probably realizing about now that you're asking for something a little complicated.

/*================================================================= */
Zellerroc(ccyy,mm,dd) returns(fixed bin(31));
/* 0=sat 1=sun 2=mon 3=tue 4=wed 5=thu 6=fri */

dcl ccyy fixed bin(31);
dcl dd fixed bin(31);
dcl mm fixed bin(31);
dcl n1 fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl n2 fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl r fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl wccyy fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl wm fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl wccyyd400 fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl wccyyd100 fixed bin(31) init(000);
dcl zday_num fixed bin(31) init(000);

wccyy=ccyy ;
wm=mm ;
If wm < 3 then do;
wm = wm + 12;
wccyy = ccyy - 1;
End;

n1 = (wm + 1) * 26 / 10 ;
n2 = wccyy * 125 / 100 ;
wccyyd400 = wccyy / 400;
wccyyd100 = wccyy / 100;
zday_num = wccyyd400 - wccyyd100 + dd + n1 + n2 ;

r = zday_num / 7;

zday_num = zday_num - r * 7 ;

return(zday_num);
end Zeller;

Banaticus!
I'm surprised you can still read those 8" floppies!

 

[Banaticus]

Well, I'm not that old, but I remember when my Dad came home with a "new" computer and suddenly I couldn't play any of my 5.5" floppy games anymore. "Nobody uses those anymore," he told me. Sigh.

Thanks for the reference to format(). Reading up on it at http://www.apostate.com/programming/vb-format.html "ww" will display the week of the year as a number (1 - 53). I thought the original poster was asking about format(yourDateHere, "w") which would display the day of the week as a number (1 for Sunday through 7 for Saturday).

I thought the original poster was asking about format(yourDateHere, "w") which would display the day of the week as a number (1 for Sunday through 7 for Saturday).

The clue was in the "How do you convert an inputted date to a week number " part of the question.

Thanks

Did this work Week: Format([downtime],"ww")? I get an undefined expression error. Any suggestions?

Did this work Week: Format([downtime],"ww")? I get an undefined expression error. Any suggestions?

This worked in a saved query.

Format([TransDate],"ww")

Thanks Col.
