Extract week numbers from dates in R using strftime() & %V format code or lubridate's week() function. Just pass the date object to easily get the week number. Great for wrangling temporal data! Try it out on sample dates in R to get comfortable with date manipulation for time series analysis. Check my blog for details & examples of using these functions. Handling dates is an important R skill - give it a go!
