How do I get a Date from a week number?

I want to find all items created in a given week, and pass in a week number param. (created_at is a normal timestamp.)

Given a week number, what is the easiest way to find a date in that particular week? (Any date in the week will do, as I will use beginning_of_week and end_of_week in the scope.)

How do you find the start date from the week?

Note: This formula =A2-WEEKDAY(A2,2)+1 will return Monday as the beginning of week based on the given date. Select a blank cell you will return the beginning of week, and enter the formula =A2-MOD(A2-2,7) (A2 is the cell with given date) into it, and then drag the Fill Handle to the range as you need.

You can get Date objects representing the beginning and end of your week using the commercial method:

week = 41;  wkBegin = Date.commercial(2010, week, 1) wkEnd = Date.commercial(2010, week, 7) 

Now do your find:

  Item.find(:all, :conditions->:create_date=>wkBegin..wkEnd.end_of_day)
