Does anyone know how to calculate ISO Week from a date in Power Query

It seems that the following function = Date.WeekOfYear([Column1],Day.Monday) - Is not calculating the same ISO Week expression as the equivalent WEEKNUM (Date,21) or the ISOWEEKNUM function in excel.

See below

Hi there,

It can be a bit tricky to compute an ISO Week and ISO year number in Power Query. Especially since there is no built-in function. You can find the consolidated code to do this on my blog (Create ISO Week and ISO Year in Power Query - BI Gorilla)

But step by step this means:

  • Step 1: Find the Current Thursday
  • Power Query:
    Date.AddDays([Date], 3 - Date.DayOfWeek( [Date], Day.Monday) )
  • Step 2: Create the Year of Current Thursday
  • Power Query:
    Date.Year( [CurrentThursday] )
  • Step 3: Find the First Thursday of Year
  • Power Query:
    Date.AddDays(
    #date( [YearCurrentThursday],1 ,7 ),
    - Date.DayOfWeek( #date( [YearCurrentThursday],1 , 1), Day.Friday )
    )
  • Step 4: Compute the ISO Week Number based on these values
  • Power Query:
    ( Duration.Days( [CurrentThursday] - [FirstThursdayOfYear] )
    / 7 )
    + 1

In the article you can also find a way to compute the ISO Year number.

Hope that helps!

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Great info. Here it is a a function which I named fxIsoWeek:
Power Query:
( IsoDate as date ) =>
let
  CurrentThursday =  Date.AddDays( IsoDate, 3 - Date.DayOfWeek( IsoDate, Day.Monday ) ),
  YearCurrThursday = Date.Year( CurrentThursday ),
  FirstThursdayOfYear = Date.AddDays( #date(YearCurrThursday, 1, 7) , - Date.DayOfWeek( #date( YearCurrThursday, 1, 1 ), Day.Friday ) ),
  ISO_Week = Duration.Days( CurrentThursday - FirstThursdayOfYear ) / 7 + 1
in
  ISO_Week
This can be used with Add Column -> Invoke Custom Function in the PQ Editor to add a column using a Date column. Confirmed using the step by step above.

I use this formula:
if Date.DayOfWeek(Date.StartOfYear([Date]), Day.Monday) < 3 then Date.WeekOfYear([Date]) else Date.WeekOfYear([Date]) -1

Hope this helps!
