What's the Current Week Number?

Current week is ...

Week 46

Week 46 is from Monday, November 14th, 2022 until (and including) Sunday, December 26, 2021.

Week number according to the ISO-8601 standard, weeks starting on Monday. The first week of the year is the week that contains that year's first Thursday (='First 4-day week'). ISO representation: 2021-W51

The highest week number in a year is either 52 or 53.
2021 has 52 weeks.

ISO 8601 is not the only week numbering system in the world, other systems use weeks starting on Sunday (US) or Saturday (Islamic).

Programming routines

Microsoft Excel / LibreOffice Calc

1 2 3=ISOWEEKNUM(TODAY()) // or (in older versions): =WEEKNUM(TODAY(),21)

Where the return type '21' is ISO-8601 (week starting on Monday).

In Excel 2007 your best choice is WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2) (2=week starting Monday).
WEEKNUM(TODAY()) will show the week number with weeks starting on Sunday (return type = 1).

Google Docs Spreadsheet

1=WEEKNUM(TODAY();21)

Type (here '21') is compatible with Excel/LibreOffice, 21 is ISO-8601

PHP

1$weekNumber = date("W");

or date("W", epoch) for other week numbers. Remember to use capital 'W' not 'w'.

Python

1datetime.date.today().isocalendar()[1]

PERL

1my $weekNumber = POSIX::strftime("%V", gmtime time);

Replace time with other epoch/UNIX timestamps for other week numbers.

Java

1 2Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance(); now.get(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR);

Date.prototype.getWeek = function () { var target = new Date(this.valueOf()); var dayNr = (this.getDay() + 6) % 7; target.setDate(target.getDate() - dayNr + 3); var firstThursday = target.valueOf(); target.setMonth(0, 1); if (target.getDay() != 4) { target.setMonth(0, 1 + ((4 - target.getDay()) + 7) % 7); } return 1 + Math.ceil((firstThursday - target) / 604800000); } var d= new Date(); alert(d.getWeek());

Extend the Date class using the above code.
