REMARKS

* This function returns a number between 1 and 54.
* If "return_type" is left blank, then 1 is used.
* If "return_type" = 1, the week starts on a Sunday and the weekdays are numbered Sunday = 1 to Saturday = 7.
* If "return_type" = 2, the week starts on a Monday and the weekdays are numbered Monday = 1 to Sunday = 7.
* This function is based on the US convention which defines the week containing January 1st to be the first week of the year.
* The European convention however defines the first week as the first one containing four or more days.
* If "return_type" = 21, then the weekdays according to the European convention are returned.
* If "return_type" = 21, then the first week of the year is the first week that contains at least 4 days (which means it must contain a Thursday).
* You can use the DATE function to return the date serial number given a year, month, day.
* You can use the ISOWEEKNUM function with return_type 21.
* You can use the WEEKDAY function to return the day of the week.
* You can use the WEEKNUMBER - User Defined Function if you want to use a VBA function.
* In Excel 2013 the ISOWEEKNUM function was added to provide a dedicated function to return the week numbers according to the European convention.
