Week Number Calculation Starting At Specific Day of Week

Hello all,

 

I'm currently using the following equation to calculate the Week Num based on create dates:

 

tonumber(datetimeformat([shipment_create_dt],"%W"))+1

 

The equation is working correctly, the only issue I'm having is that the equation considers a week Monday to Sunday. I'm trying to find a way for the formula to consider a week Sunday to Saturday, as this is the procedure in which my account reports weekly metrics.

 

As an example, the formula I'm currently using is considering 1/12/20 as week 2 while I would like it to be considered as week 3.

 

I have searched the community and I haven't been able to find an answer, sorry if this has been answered previously.

 

Thank you.

Hi @jafranco I realized their is a simper way to answer your question. Attached an edited workflow I used the %U syntax with the start date of a week starts on the Sunday and ends on Saturday.
