Hi,
Is giving you 7 because is taking in consideration January 1 as a week, the
excel help says

Returns a number that indicates where the week falls numerically within a
year.

Important The WEEKNUM function considers the week containing January 1
to be the first week of the year. However, there is a European standard that
defines the first week as the one with the majority of days (four or more)
falling in the new year. This means that for years in which there are three
days or less in the first week of January, the WEEKNUM function returns week
numbers that are incorrect according to the European standard.

Hello Excel-lent users,

I use Weeknum(today()) to determine which weeknumber is valid for today. The
problem is that for today 11 feb 2010 (02/11/2010 in us date config) it
returns with weeknumber 7 instead of week number 6. The same is applicable if
I use
weeknum(A1) (where A1 eq today()) as well as weeknum(A1;1) and weeknum(A1;2).

Can I rely on using weeknum(today())-1 or should I do something else?

Please help !
