Hello Luisfo and Enrico, Thanks for your help! I've been testing both solutions... results differ for the same date (I changed both functions to use ISO8601). And I added contiguous dates, to see how they handle the start-end of the week.
So, here the results: ### one example d <- c("2010-08-21","2010-08-22","2010-08-23","2010-08-24") iso_start_end <- function(d) { d <- as.Date(d) wday <- as.POSIXlt(d)$wday data.frame(date = d, week = format(d, "%V"), starts = d - wday + 1, ends = d + 7 - wday) } iso_start_end(d) date week starts ends 1 2010-08-21 33 2010-08-16 2010-08-22 *2 2010-08-22 33 2010-08-23 2010-08-29* 3 2010-08-23 34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29 4 2010-08-24 34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29 ### the other example: dd <- as.Date(strptime('2010-08-21', format="%Y-%m-%d", tz="GMT")) ref.date <- as.Date(strptime(paste0(year(dd),"-01-01"), format="%Y-%m-%d")) bound.dates <- ref.date + 7 * (isoweek(dd)) + c(0,6) bound.dates [1] "2010-08-20" "2010-08-26" So, researching a bit more and inspired by those examples, I eventually came up with this solution that seems to work fine... I share in case that any other has a similar problem: # get ISOweek for my vector of dates week_iso<-ISOweek(d) # vector with the format %Y-W%V-1 for start day of the ISO week week_iso_day1 <- paste(week_iso,1, sep="-") # vector with the format %Y-W%V-7 for end day of the ISO week week_iso_day7 <- paste(week_iso, 7, sep="-") # use ISOweek2date data.frame(date= d, week_iso = week_iso, start = ISOweek2date(week_iso_day1), end = ISOweek2date(week_iso_day7) date week_iso start end 1 2010-08-21 2010-W33 2010-08-16 2010-08-22 2 2010-08-22 2010-W33 2010-08-16 2010-08-22 3 2010-08-23 2010-W34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29 4 2010-08-24 2010-W34 2010-08-23 2010-08-29 Thanks again for your time, ideas and help!
