MySQL YEARWEEK Function

MySQL YEARWEEK is one of the Date Functions, which returns the Year and Week of the given date. The mode argument in this YearWeek function works exactly the same as the Week() function.

In this article, we show you how to use this YearWeek function to get the calendar year and Week number with an example. The basic syntax of this method is as shown below:

YEARWEEK(date);

YEARDATE(date, mode);

Here, the Mode is an optional argument. For example, if Mode = 0, then the week starts on Sunday, and the return value is between 0 and 53.
