  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Returns date in extended ISO 8601 week date format.

The International Standard ISO 8601 extended format representation of week dates is yyyy-Www-d, where W is the actual letter "W", ww refers to the two digit week number, and d is the day's number.

Weeks are represented by two digits beginning with 01 being the first week of the year, up to 52 or 53 being the last week of the year. The first week of a year is the first week that contains four or more days of that year. Weeks start with Monday.

Days are represented by a single digit beginning with 1 being Monday, ending with 7 being Sunday.

This function is not recursive.

Hi Michael,

what a nice function! I don't dare giving you my previous calculation, it was such a mess compared to yours.

I'm now looking for the reverse function : give a ISO week number and year, and get a date (or a list of dates).
If by chance you have such a thing ready...

Many thanks,
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,

it shouldn't be very difficult. Hint: January 4 is ALWAYS within week 01.

Here's the reverse calculation:

Let (
jan4 = Date ( 1 ; 4 ; ISOyear )
;
jan4 - Mod ( jan4 - 1 ; 7 ) + 7 * ( ISOweek - 1 ) + ISOweekDay - 1
)
