How to get WeekNumber function in Google Spreadsheets

Sometimes you want to have the week number of a certain date in your spreadsheet. In Excel you can use the WEEKNUM() function for this purpose, however in Google Spreadsheets there is no such function built in.

If you want to get a function that does the same as WEEKNUM() in Google Spreadsheets, use the following trick (assuming cell A1 holds a valid date):
