I am trying to create a fiscal week lookup table for a spreadsheet I am working on. My boss needs TY/LY weekly comparison.
I have tried to use the =weeknum(b1) command. However, our first fiscal week is 2/3/19-2/9/19, so the value returned using that formula is 6.
I am able to get it to read 1 by changing the formula to =weeknum(b1)-5.
However, three days into week 48 (Tues 12/31), the formula reports a value of '(4)' and decreases weekly to 0 on 1/26
I know I can override the formulas with manual entries for the last few weeks, but I would like it to work properly

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Thanks. That works.
However, it gives me 53 weeks and we have a 52 Week fiscal year
So I just changed the 53 in the formula to 52, and it gives me exactly what I need
