I did not see the original, because it was ECP (one group should not
IMHO exist).
There is always the simple method : (Trunc(Date)+x) mod 7 , where a
simple test will show the required value of x, depending on one's
definition of the start of the week. Add 1 if the numbering is to be
1..7. For Date<0, add enough "x" to make the first argument of "mod"
non-negative.
