Week number of the month?

Question

Does python offer a way to easily get the current week of the month (1:4) ?

Answer 1

In order to use straight division, the day of month for the date you're looking at needs to be adjusted according to the position (within the week) of the first day of the month. So, if your month happens to start on a Monday (the first day of the week), you can just do division as suggested above. However, if the month starts on a Wednesday, you'll want to add 2 and then do the division. This is all encapsulated in the function below.

from math import ceil

def week_of_month(dt):
    """ Returns the week of the month for the specified date.
    """

    first_day = dt.replace(day=1)

    dom = dt.day
    adjusted_dom = dom + first_day.weekday()

    return int(ceil(adjusted_dom/7.0))

Answer 2

I know this is years old, but I spent a lot of time trying to find this answer. I made my own method and thought I should share.

The calendar module has a monthcalendar method that returns a 2D array where each row represents a week. For example:

import calendar
calendar.monthcalendar(2015,9)

result:

[[0,0,1,2,3,4,5],
 [6,7,8,9,10,11,12],
 [13,14,15,16,17,18,19],
 [20,21,22,23,24,25,26],
 [27,28,29,30,0,0,0]]

So numpy's where is your friend here. And I'm in USA so I want the week to start on Sunday and the first week to be labelled 1:

import calendar
import numpy as np
calendar.setfirstweekday(6)

def get_week_of_month(year, month, day):
    x = np.array(calendar.monthcalendar(year, month))
    week_of_month = np.where(x==day)[0][0] + 1
    return(week_of_month)

get_week_of_month(2015,9,14)

returns

Answer 3

If your first week starts on the first day of the month you can use integer division:

import datetime
day_of_month = datetime.datetime.now().day
week_number = (day_of_month - 1) // 7 + 1

Answer 4

Check out the package Pendulum

>>> dt = pendulum.parse('2018-09-30')
>>> dt.week_of_month
5

Answer 5

This version could be improved but as a first look in python modules (datetime and calendar), I make this solution, I hope could be useful:

from datetime import datetime
n = datetime.now()
#from django.utils.timezone import now
#n = now() #if you use django with timezone

from calendar import Calendar
cal = Calendar() # week starts Monday
#cal = Calendar(6) # week stars Sunday

weeks = cal.monthdayscalendar(n.year, n.month)
for x in range(len(weeks)):
    if n.day in weeks[x]:
        print x+1

Answer 6

Josh's answer has to be tweaked slightly to accomodate the first day falling on a Sunday.

def get_week_of_month(date):
   first_day = date.replace(day=1)

   day_of_month = date.day

   if(first_day.weekday() == 6):
       adjusted_dom = (1 + first_day.weekday()) / 7
   else:
       adjusted_dom = day_of_month + first_day.weekday()

   return int(ceil(adjusted_dom/7.0))

Answer 7

Check out the python calendar module

Answer 8

def week_of_month(date_value):
    week = date_value.isocalendar()[1] - date_value.replace(day=1).isocalendar()[1] + 1
    return date_value.isocalendar()[1] if week < 0 else week

date_value should in timestamp format This will give the perfect answer in all the cases. It is purely based on ISO calendar

Answer 9

I found a quite simple way:

import datetime
def week(year, month, day):
    first_week_month = datetime.datetime(year, month, 1).isocalendar()[1]
    if month == 1 and first_week_month > 10:
        first_week_month = 0
    user_date = datetime.datetime(year, month, day).isocalendar()[1]
    if month == 1 and user_date > 10:
        user_date = 0
    return user_date - first_week_month

returns 0 if first week

Answer 10

Josh' answer seems the best but I think that we should take into account the fact that a week belongs to a month only if its Thursday falls into that month. At least that's what the iso says.

According to that standard, a month can have up to 5 weeks. A day could belong to a month, but the week it belongs to may not.

I have taken into account that just by adding a simple

if (first_day.weekday()>3) :
        return ret_val-1
    else:
        return ret_val

where ret_val is exactly Josh's calculated value. Tested on June 2017 (has 5 weeks) and on September 2017. Passing '2017-09-01' returns 0 because that day belongs to a week that does not belong to September.

The most correct way would be to have the method return both the week number and the month name the input day belongs to.

Answer 11

A variation on @Manuel Solorzano's answer:

from calendar import monthcalendar
def get_week_of_month(year, month, day):
    return next(
        (
            week_number
            for week_number, days_of_week in enumerate(monthcalendar(year, month), start=1)
            if day in days_of_week
        ),
        None,
    )

E.g.:

>>> get_week_of_month(2020, 9, 1)
1
>>> get_week_of_month(2020, 9, 30)
5
>>> get_week_of_month(2020, 5, 35)
None

Answer 12

Say we have some month's calender as follows:

Mon Tue Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun
                 1   2   3 
4   5   6   7    8   9   10

We say day 1 ~ 3 belongs to week 1 and day 4 ~ 10 belongs to week 2 etc.

In this case, I believe the week_of_month for a specific day should be calculated as follows:

import datetime
def week_of_month(year, month, day):
    weekday_of_day_one = datetime.date(year, month, 1).weekday()
    weekday_of_day = datetime.date(year, month, day)
    return (day - 1)//7 + 1 + (weekday_of_day < weekday_of_day_one)

However, if instead we want to get the nth of the weekday that date is, such as day 1 is the 1st Friday, day 8 is the 2nd Friday, and day 6 is the 1st Wednesday, then we can simply return (day - 1)//7 + 1

Answer 13

The answer you are looking for is (dm-dw+(dw-dm)%7)/7+1 where dm is the day of the month, dw is the day of the week, and % is the positive remainder.

This comes from relating the month offset (mo) and the week of the month (wm), where the month offset is how far into the week the first day starts. If we consider all of these variables to start at 0 we have

wm*7+dw = dm+mo

You can solve this modulo 7 for mo as that causes the wm variable drops out as it only appears as a multiple of 7

dw = dm+mo   (%7)
mo = dw-dm   (%7)
mo = (dw-dm)%7  (since the month offset is 0-6)

Then you just substitute the month offset into the original equation and solve for wm

wm*7+dw = dm+mo
wm*7 = dm-dw + mo
wm*7 = dm-dw + (dw-dm)%7
wm = (dm-dw + (dw-dm)%7) / 7

As dm and dw are always paired, these can be offset by any amount, so, switching everything to start a 1 only changes the the equation to (dm-dw + (dw-dm)%7)/7 + 1.

Of course the python datetime library starts dm at 1 and dw at 0. So, assuming date is a datatime.date object, you can go with

(date.day-1-date.dayofweek() + (date.dayofweek()-date.day+1)%7) / 7 + 1

As the inner bit is always a multiple of 7 (it is literally dw*7), you can see that the first -date.dayofweek() simply adjusts the value backwards to closest multiple of 7. Integer division does this too, so it can be further simplified to

(date.day-1 + (date.dayofweek()-date.day+1)%7) // 7 + 1

Be aware that dayofweek() puts Sunday at the end of the week.

Answer 14

This should do it.

#! /usr/bin/env python2

import calendar, datetime

#FUNCTIONS
def week_of_month(date):
    """Determines the week (number) of the month"""

    #Calendar object. 6 = Start on Sunday, 0 = Start on Monday
    cal_object = calendar.Calendar(6)
    month_calendar_dates = cal_object.itermonthdates(date.year,date.month)

    day_of_week = 1
    week_number = 1

    for day in month_calendar_dates:
        #add a week and reset day of week
        if day_of_week > 7:
            week_number += 1
            day_of_week = 1

        if date == day:
            break
        else:
            day_of_week += 1

    return week_number


#MAIN
example_date = datetime.date(2015,9,21)

print "Week",str(week_of_month(example_date))
#Returns 'Week 4'

Answer 15

Move to last day of week in month and divide to 7

from math import ceil

def week_of_month(dt):
    """ Returns the week of the month for the specified date.
    """
    # weekday from monday == 0 ---> sunday == 6
    last_day_of_week_of_month = dt.day + (7 - (1 + dt.weekday()))
    return int(ceil(last_day_of_week_of_month/7.0))

Answer 16

You can simply do as follow:

1. First extract the month and the week of year number

df['month'] = df['Date'].dt.month
df['week'] = df['Date'].dt.week 

2. Then group by month and rank the week numbers

df['weekOfMonth'] = df.groupby('month')["week"].rank("dense", ascending=False)

Answer 17

  import datetime
    
  def week_number_of_month(date_value):
            week_number = (date_value.isocalendar()[1] - date_value.replace(day=1).isocalendar()[1] + 1)
            if week_number == -46:
                week_number = 6
           return week_number
                
 date_given = datetime.datetime(year=2018, month=12, day=31).date()
