7 doesn't divide into 365 evenly....365/7 = 52.14285714, so the last day or
two of the year is the 53rd week.

BTW, if you have the analysis toolpak installed, you can use the built-in

Assuming your date is in B6, run this formula down a helper column
=TRUNC(((B6-DATE(YEAR(B6),1,0))+6)/7) for the absolute week number.

Then either create a pivot table or use the SUBTOTAL function to subtotal by
week number.

If you want more info on the formula above, see this:
