How to Use the Power Fx WeekNum  Function in Power Apps

What is the WeekNum Function?

The WeekNum function is used to determine the week number of a given date. It takes a date as input and returns the corresponding week number. The function is part of the Date and Time category of functions in Power Fx.

Syntax of the WeekNum Function

The syntax of the WeekNum function is as follows:


WeekNum( date [,firstDayOfWeek] )


The function takes two parameters:

- `date`: This is the date for which the week number needs to be determined. It can be a date/time value or a string representation of a date.

- `firstDayOfWeek`: This is an optional parameter that specifies the first day of the week. If not specified, it defaults to Sunday (1).

Examples of the WeekNum Function

Let's take a look at some examples of how to use the WeekNum function in Power Apps.

Example 1: Basic Usage

Suppose we have a date value stored in a variable called `myDate`. We can determine the week number of this date using the WeekNum function as follows:


WeekNum(myDate)


This will return the week number of the date stored in `myDate`.

Example 2: Specifying the First Day of the Week

Suppose we want to determine the week number of a date, but we want to use Monday as the first day of the week instead of Sunday. We can do this by specifying the `firstDayOfWeek` parameter as follows:


WeekNum(myDate,2)


This will return the week number of the date stored in `myDate`, using Monday as the first day of the week.

Example 3: Using a String Representation of a Date

Suppose we have a date represented as a string in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". We can convert this string to a date/time value and then determine the week number using the WeekNum function as follows:


WeekNum(DateValue(“01/01/2022”))


This will return the week number of the date January 1, 2022.

The WeekNum function is a powerful tool for determining the week number of a given date in Power Apps. By using this function and its optional parameters, we can easily customize the week numbering system to fit our needs. Hopefully, this article has provided you with a better understanding of how to use the WeekNum function in your Power Apps projects.
