  • As per ISO 8601:
    • Weeks begin on Monday and end on Sunday.
    • Week 1 of the year is the week containing the first Thursday of the year.
      • As a result, if the first Thursday is after January 4, at least one of the following days, January 1-3, will have an ISOWEEKNUM of 52 or 53.
      • Similarly, if the first Thursday is before January 4, at least one of the following days, December 29-31, will have an ISOWEEKNUM of 1. 
      • If the first Thursday is January 4, December 29-31 of the previous year will have ISOWEEKNUM of 52 and January 1-7 of the current year will have ISOWEEKNUM of 1.
  • Problems can occur if dates are entered as text. You can use the DATE function to enter a date. For example, use DATE(2020,2,3) for the 3rd day of January, 2020.
