# BrokenWeeks

The setting defines if weeks are broken or not.

Syntax:

BrokenWeeks

By default, QlikView functions use unbroken weeks. This means that:

* In some years, week 1 starts in December, and in other years, week 52 or 53 continues into January.
* Week 1 always has at least 4 days in January.

The alternative is to use broken weeks. This means that:

* Week 52 or 53 do not continue into January.
* Week 1 starts on January 1 and is, in most cases, not a full week.

The following values can be used:

* 0 (=use unbroken weeks)
* 1 (= use broken weeks)

Examples:

`Set BrokenWeeks=0; //(use unbroken weeks)` `Set BrokenWeeks=1; //(use broken weeks)`
