Variable WEEK is a SAS date. It is the date of the first day of the week which is set to start on a Monday. That's what function INTNX returns. By associating variable WEEK to format WEEKV5., the date is formatted as a week number. You can group on variable WEEK since all days belonging to the same week (starting on Monday) will have the same value for WEEK.

The date is the same no matter what the format, I didn't catch that your date is in a date format before. The date is always the same to SAS, so any difference in days won't be displayed in your format but it's still a different date. I would recommend adding an extra variable that has date as a character. You can use this column to group by but keep your date column as a date for any other purposes.
Thank you.
