I need 3 columns in output which are

Why do dates of 27-12-2021 have W01??? End of year I expect 52 or possibly 53.

 

My start would be:

data have;
   input Business_dt :ddmmyy10.;
   format Business_dt ddmmyy10.;
datalines;
27-12-2021 	
28-12-2021 	
29-12-2021 	
30-12-2021 	
31-12-2021 	
01-01-2022
09-01-2022
;

proc format;
picture myweek (default=8)
low-high='%Y-W%0V' (datatype=date)
;
run;

data want;
   set have;
   week=business_dt;
   format week myweek.;
   start_week = intnx('weekv',business_dt,0,'B');
   end_week = intnx('weekv',business_dt,0,'E');
   format start_week end_week ddmmyy10.;
run;

Assumes your Business_dt variable is actually a SAS date value. If not use Input(business_dt,ddmmyy10.) to create such a date value.

 

The proc format code creates a custom format to display that week value as shown. SAS provides a number of Week formats: WeekV , WeekU and WeekW that apply different rules but when using a width of 8 the appearance would be 2-digit year and include month and week. The Picture format allows directives to select and display date, time or datetime elements. In this the %Y is 4 digit year and the %0V is the week number with leading 0. Other characters are inserted verbatim. The  main issue with this approach is making sure that the custom format is available as needed.

I prefer the format approach as when using a date value instead of character a graph axis behaves much nicer than a character version. The groups created by the formatted value are usable in most reporting, analysis and graphing procedures.

 

The Intnx function increments dates by providing an interval, starting date value, number of intervals and option Begin, End or Same position as the date value inside the interval. So 0 means "same week as" and 'B' is beginning of week.

 

There are several rules for assigning weeks depending on when to set boundaries and how to count the end/start of year. These are three WeekV, WeekU and WeekW which appears several places in the documentation. Yours appears to match the V rules.

Fortunately SAS handles dates pretty well.

 

data want;
set have;

start_week_dt = intnx('week', business_dt, 0, 'b');
end_week_dt = intnx('week', business_dt, 0, 'e');


*format instead of character variable - recommended approach;
weeky_yyweekv8 = business_dt;

week_yyweekv8_v2 = catt(year(business_dt), '-W', put(week(business_dt, 'u'), z2.));


format start_week_dt end_week_dt ddmmyyd10. weeky_yyweekv8  yyweeku8.;
run;

There are several different ways to calculate the weeks, look at the definitions here and decide which of u, v or w are appropriate for your use case.

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/vdmmlcdc/8.1/lefunctionsref/n1ka2ulrvrjlasn0z7beco2yrgas.htm

 

INTNX()

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/vdmmlcdc/8.1/lefunctionsref/p10v3sa3i4kfxfn1sovhi5xzxh8n.htm

 

EDIT: missed a semicolon, formatted text date to match date more closely.

Your example seems to have some mistakes on the first week and last week.

Just use the WEEK.2 interval with INTNX().  Calculate the WEEK number from the END date of the week.

data have;
  do business_dt='27DEC2021'd to '18JAN2022'd;
    output;
  end;
  format Business_dt yymmdd10.;
run;

data test;
  set have;
  start = intnx('week.2',business_dt,0,'b');
  end = intnx('week.2',business_dt,0,'e');
  week = week(end);
  week_string=cats(year(end),'-W',put(week,z2.));
  format Start End yymmdd10.;
run;

Results:

        business_                                         week_
Obs            dt         start           end    week     string
