Formula calculated column: show date as week number
Hey, Ive been using this formula for a while now without issues. In 2023 the week number is off by 3 or 4 weeks. So data entered today is coming out to week #4. 12/31/2023 comes out to week #56. Im trying to find a solution that would keep the previous years data accurate and work for 2023 as well.
=INT(([Completion Date]-DATE(YEAR([Completion Date]),1,1)+(TEXT(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR([Completion Date]),1,1)),"d")))/7)
Lev_Kr my network operations team was able to fix the same problem using this code. We are in SP2016, with on prem servers.
=CONCATENATE(TEXT(IF(INT(([Work date]-DATE(YEAR([Work date]),1,1)+(TEXT(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR([Work date]),1,1)-1),"d")))/7)=0,52,INT(([Work date]-DATE(YEAR([Work date]),1,1)+(TEXT(WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR([Work date]),1,1)-1),"d")))/7)),"0"))
- Brilliant! Works like charm. I've been struggling with this one for 18 days now... Lol!!
- So happy it worked for you!
- I have the same issue as Lev, but this new formula will not work for me. It simply tells me I have an error when I try to save the formula above. We are using SP in the cloud. Any thoughts?
- Oh I wish I could help! I've not yet worked in the cloud version of SP and, honestly, barely understand what my NetOps team gave me in the calculation above. I can do some calculated columns but when it comes to complexity with dates I get lost...maybe someday I'll learn. I hope you find an answer - I know how frustrating this was to me when it first started!
- Be sure to rename the field to what yours is called. I know this sounds really dumb, but I just copied and pasted the first time as well, since I was so excited. I forgot to change the column called Work day, to the column in my list that I needed it to reference.
- While this works, in O365 SharePoint, you cannot filter or group or create a view by the result of the calculation. Very odd!!
- how come when i tried to manually input Jan 1,2024, the output workweek is 4 instead of 1?
