MySQL WEEKOFYEAR function Example
The following queries help you understand the basic use of the Week of Year function. Here, we are returning the Calendar Week number from the date expression, and the Datetime expression.
TIP: This WEEKOFYEAR method is equivalent to WEEK(date, 3).
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR('2018-12-25');
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR('2018-07-25 09:14:27');
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR('2018-10-25 09:14:27');
Let us see another example of MySQL WEEK OF YEAR function. Here, we are returning the Week number from the current datetime returned by the Now(), and the current date returned by CURDATE().
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR(NOW());
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR(CURDATE());
Example 2
The following MySQL WEEKOFYEAR query show what happens when we try to find the calendar week number from a date in string format or the invalid DATETIME.
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR(CURDATE() + 120);
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR(0);
SELECT WEEKOFYEAR('2012-22-22');
From the above screenshot, (0) means we are trying to extract a week number from a zero date part. That’s why it returns NULL. Within the Last statement, (‘2012-22-22’); is returning NULL. Because it is an invalid MySQL dt.
