Function GetCalendarWeek( Byval inputdate As Variant ) As String
     
%REM
This function calculates the calendar week number 
(ISO standard) for a given date value. The format
function of LotusScript (parameter "ww") does not solve 
this problem. 

Monday is the first day of the week. Week #1 is the week 
that contains the 4th of January (ISO 8601). The week at the
end/beginning of the year belongs to the next/previous year,
if there are 3 days or less of that week in the year in question.

This version for 53 week years comes from Bill Westaway (Bill.Westaway@fmr.com):

The following "week of the year" formula was adopted from the set that shows on your web site.
It is for applications that require 53 week years because the last few days of the year still occur in a calendar year (government reporting or payroll support would be good examples). 2002 is a good example of a 53 week year.
(you can actually get a 54th week by this definition - this formula will also work then)

The formula works in views, fields, and agents and should work for every Notes/Domino release 3.0 and greater.

As was your formula -- it's "Monday" based.

I've used your padding concept for text conversion at the end. I normally leave it in numeric form and convert to text only when I need to combine with other text, as is done in the example below.

I've tried to keep this fairly efficient (I think I might be able to improve on the WeekOfYear_Gross variable formula)

REM { routine to figure out the week of the year a given date falls into --- for those applications that require a 53 week year};
REM { (i.e. those applications where the last week of the year is the first few days of the week that};
REM {    splits across a year end boundary};
REM { it's also true that the first week of the year is defined as the last days of the week that splits across a year end boundary.};
REM {   Its actually possible to get 54 week years by this definition!};

REM { Set the below Variable (SourceDate) to the value of the field that contains the date we will work on};

SourceDate := CompletedOnDist;

REM {First fugure out what the first day of the year in question is.};

FirstOfYear := @Date(@Year(SourceDate); 1; 1);
FirstDayNum_SundayBased := @Weekday(FirstOfYear);
FirstDayNum_MondayBased := @If(FirstDayNum_SundayBased = 1; 7;
FirstDayNum_SundayBased -1);

REM {Then get the week of the year for this date};
WeekOfYear_Gross := @Integer(@Integer(((@Date(SourceDate) - FirstOfYear) / (86400)) + 1) / 7) +1;

REM {Then adjust the week because the first day of they year may not fall on Monday};

DayOfWeek := @Weekday(SourceDate);
WeekOfYearNum := @If(DayOfWeek >= FirstDayNum_MondayBased;
WeekOfYear_Gross; WeekOfYear_Gross + 1);

Pad := @If(WeekOfYearNum < 10; "0"; ""); "Week " + Pad + @Text(WeekOfYearNum)

Stewart Clow (SCLOW@uk.ibm.com) modified Bill Westerly's formula to start weeks on Monday (the UK standard) instead of Sunday (the US standard):

REM { Returns the days at the start of the year up to Sunday as Week 1. Weeks start on Monday. FYI: 1984 is 54 weeks!
i.e. always returns week number for current year, rather than ISO week which can be week number for previous/next year. }

SourceDate := @Date(2009; 1; 11);

Jan1 := @Date(@Year(SourceDate); 1; 1);

DaysSinceJan1 := 1 + (SourceDate - Jan1) / 86400;
Jan1Weekday_SundayIs1 := @Weekday(Jan1);

Jan1Weekday_MondayIs1 := @If(Jan1Weekday_SundayIs1 = 1; 7; Jan1Weekday_SundayIs1 - 1);

WeekNum := @Integer((5 + DaysSinceJan1 + Jan1Weekday_MondayIs1) / 7);

PadChar := @If(WeekNum < 10; "0"; "");

"Week " + PadChar + @Text(WeekNum)
