Purpose

This function returns the week of the year for the given DateTime value. It uses a counting mechanism where the week that contains January 1 is considered the first week of the year, and the start of the week is Sunday. This is commonly used in the US.

DateGetWeekOfYear uses the week that contains January 1 as the first week of the year, while DateGetWeekOfYearISO adheres to the ISO 8601 date and time standard. Additionally, DateGetWeekOfYear_WDS allows you to specify the starting day of the week.
