Solved: Date setting to 1900 when using weekstart - Qlik Community

tvisha · ‎2022-05-11

Hi,

What am I doing wrong in either of the expression, the date comes to 14/01/1900. If I do not use weekstart, it comes correct, it shows me the week number, but when I add weekstart, it goes wrong.

=weekstart(week([Date Created])-1)

=weekstart(num(Week([Date Created])-1,'00'))

Thank You,

WeekStart() will return the starting date of the week

Week() will return iso week number

What exactly are you looking for??

=weekstart([Date Created],-1,0) <--previous week start date

=weekstart([Date Created],0,0) <--current week start date

=weekend([Date Created],-1,0) <--previous week end date

=weekend([Date Created],0,0) <--current week end date

=Week(weekstart([Date Created],0,0)) <--current week number

=Week(weekstart([Date Created],-1,0)) <--previous week number

Hi,

As I understand you are trying to find the first day of the previous week, if so, try the following.

If Date Created is 5/11/2022

weekstart([Date Created],-1, 0) AS WeekStart

Result: 5/2/2022 (Previous week Monday)

The first parameter is your date field, the second is period_no which allows selecting current (0), previous (-1), or the following week (1), and the third allows selecting the start day of the week

0 for Monday
1 for Tuesday
2 for Wednesday
3 for Thursday
4 for Friday
5 for Saturday
6 for Sunday
