Description

The function aweek calculates the date of the first day (Monday) for a week number in a year. The type of the result is Date.

The week is numbered from 0 to 53. The calculation mode follows the NF ISO 8601 norm and is as follows:

• A week starts on Monday (day 1) and ends on Sunday (day 7).
• The first week of a year is the week that contains the first Thursday of the year. If the first day of the year is a Friday, a Saturday, or a Sunday, a week numbered 0 exists that starts the first of January and ends the next Sunday.
• When the year is only two digits, the year used depends on the value of adxdcs.
• If a negative value of the week is given, the calculation goes back to the previous week of the previous year.
