Date format for fiscal calender

Since I get an object error with the above code, you could also try adding the following code to get the month...

You're sure not to get an object error if you use the format function to get the week number.

Function getFiscalMonth(dtDate As Date) As String
Dim lgWeek As Long, strMonth As String

lgWeek = Format(dtDate, "ww")

strMonth = 1 + Int((lgWeek - 1) / 4)

getFiscalMonth = Format(DateValue(strMonth & "/1/2011"), "mmmm")

End Function

Much more concise than the road I was going down though...

You'll need the analysis toolpak installed for the weeknum function (Tools \ Add-ins)

This may work for the current week but next week when we are at week ending 03/05/2011, it will give Month as April as we are incrementing the month. Please advise. Thanks.

Nope, if you do

debug.Print getfiscalmonth(datevalue("3/5/2011"))

you get March.

It's a question of where your Reportdate comes from, not an issue of my function.

how about march last week (03/26/2011) when the fifth week is still in fiscal calnder march but according to your code, it will take the fiscal week as in april instad of march.. please advise.

Here... This code should work properly for all your fiscal weeks.

Public Function FiscalMonth(inDate As Date) As String
    Dim wk As Integer
    
    wk = Format(inDate, "ww")
    
    Select Case True
    Case Between(wk, 1, 4)
        FiscalMonth = "January"
    Case Between(wk, 5, 8)
        FiscalMonth = "February"
    Case Between(wk, 9, 13)
        FiscalMonth = "March"
    Case Between(wk, 14, 17)
        FiscalMonth = "April"
    Case Between(wk, 18, 21)
        FiscalMonth = "May"
    Case Between(wk, 22, 26)
        FiscalMonth = "June"
    Case Between(wk, 27, 30)
        FiscalMonth = "July"
    Case Between(wk, 31, 34)
        FiscalMonth = "August"
    Case Between(wk, 35, 39)
        FiscalMonth = "September"
    Case Between(wk, 40, 43)
        FiscalMonth = "October"
    Case Between(wk, 44, 47)
        FiscalMonth = "November"
    Case Between(wk, 48, 52)
        FiscalMonth = "December"
    End Select
End Function

Public Function Between(i1, i2, i3) As Boolean
    If i1 >= i2 And i1 <= i3 Then
        Between = True
    Else
        Between = False
    End If
End Function

This code is not working. Are there any changes/ modifications that need to be done?

How are you getting the week part (ww) in the code? This is what is causing issues.

Week is being generated by the Format function. If that doesn't work, your fiscal weeks are not close enough to the calendar weeks...

Replace with the code below. Sorry... But you'll have to add the rest of the dates yourself... I've put in Jan to March as examples.

Public Function FiscalMonth(inDate As Date) As String
   
    Select Case True
    Case Between(inDate, "2010-12-26", "2011-01-22")
        FiscalMonth = "January"
    Case Between(inDate, "2011-01-23", "2011-02-19")
        FiscalMonth = "February"
    Case Between(inDate, "2011-02-20", "2011-03-26")
        FiscalMonth = "March"
    Case Between(inDate, 14, 17)
        FiscalMonth = "April"
    Case Between(inDate, 18, 21)
        FiscalMonth = "May"
    Case Between(inDate, 22, 26)
        FiscalMonth = "June"
    Case Between(inDate, 27, 30)
        FiscalMonth = "July"
    Case Between(inDate, 31, 34)
        FiscalMonth = "August"
    Case Between(inDate, 35, 39)
        FiscalMonth = "September"
    Case Between(inDate, 40, 43)
        FiscalMonth = "October"
    Case Between(inDate, 44, 47)
        FiscalMonth = "November"
    Case Between(inDate, 48, 52)
        FiscalMonth = "December"
    End Select
End Function

Public Function Between(i1, i2 As Date, i3 As Date) As Boolean
    If i1 >= i2 And i1 <= i3 Then
        Between = True
    Else
        Between = False
    End If
End Function

I hadn't picked that third month thing. Here is my update:

Function getFiscalMonth(dtDate As Date) As String
Dim lgWeek As Long, strMonth As String

lgWeek = Application.WorksheetFunction.WeekNum(dtDate)

strMonth = 1 + Int((lgWeek - 1-int(lgweek/13)-int(lgweek/13)) / 4)

getFiscalMonth = Format(DateValue(strMonth & "/1/2011"), "mmmm")

End Function

Select allOpen in new window

The above code is not working when I run the report for the date 04/30/2011. The Fiscal month should show May but the fiscal month is showing April.

Sorry, typo in my function, there should be one /13 and one /53

Function getFiscalMonth(dtDate As Date) As String
Dim lgWeek As Long, strMonth As String

lgWeek = Application.WorksheetFunction.WeekNum(dtDate)

strMonth = 1 + Int((lgWeek - 1 - Int(lgWeek / 13) - Int(lgWeek / 53)) / 4)

getFiscalMonth = Format(DateValue(strMonth & "/1/2011"), "mmmm")

End Function

Select allOpen in new window

Would it not be easier to have a lookup on a table of dates? Setting the lookup as TRUE (ie not exact match) will enable all dates to be looked up. Or you could use the CEING function to round up a date to the end of the week. The lookup table could be extensive if you need to lookup dates from different years.

Do you think we can lookup the table calendarweek (attached with data and structure) and then code for the fiscal month. Please let me know if you can change the code by using the attached table. Many Thanks.

table-calendarweek.txt

Also, how can I change the code to reference the above fiscal month if I need the month and the year; This code is in my Excel VBA :


 Range("I2").Value = "% OF SALES, " & UCase(TODAYDATE)

Thanks.
