AutoHotkey has one way to do date to week number using YWeek:
FormatTime
https://autohotkey.com/docs/commands/FormatTime.htm
YWeek is a good system, although one disadvantage is that it may state that the 1 Jan this year, is part of the last week of last year.
For me the most intuitive system would be: for a year that starts on a Friday.
Week 1 of year: Fri Sat Sun. [Fri 1 Jan]
Week 2 of year: MTWTFSS.
Week 3 of year: MTWTFSS. Etc.
I might make use of both systems for record-keeping. But I would use the more 'intuitive' system, if someone simply asked me, what week is it.
I've tried to write a function to do this, where you can specify any day you like as the 'first day of the week', it assumes Monday. I've also written a function that tries to do date to week number, that only allows Monday as the first day of the week, and which is based on YWeek. (One reason for two functions, is to use the simpler function to check that the more complex function is working correctly.)
Do notify of any issues, or any better alternative ideas (which there may well be).
Btw you might find this quite(/very) fiddly to get your head around, if you try to write a function from scratch, without looking at my attempt.

[EDIT:] Added Excel tests. Functions now always return two-digit numbers. Replaced JEE_DateGetWeek with a far simpler algorithm, original function is now called JEE_DateGetWeekAlt2.
