Import Actual Fiscal Weeks
I would like to run an automation of sorts, where a user inputs a year into a parent table and then i would like to run an automation that creates 52 children records for fiscal weeks. Outside of just...

I think this is a good website for the formula - https://www.epochconverter.com/weeks/2020
All weeks for US start on Sunday and end on Saturday.
Yes we should deal with the 53 weeks in a year. If we can create a formula with a from date and to date maybe that will work well.

Yes, this is possible. Can you explain what the rule is for determining what the fiscal week is for each of the 52 weeks? Is this like the Sunday of when the week begins? If so can you explain what the rules are for that and also do you have to deal with years that have 53 weeks.

Qrew LegendMy approach would be like this.
Set up a table with a single record and a field called Automation Focus with numeric fields called [Year] and [Record ID# of Parent Record]
Set up a table called 53 Weeks with exactly 53 records.
Make a relationship where 1 Year record has many weeks based on a formula reference field with a formula of 1. Lookup the [Year] and the [Record ID# of Parent Record] down to the 53 weeks table.
Make a formula date field in weeks with the following formula
var number YYYY = [Year lookup];
var date WeekRaw = FirstDayOfWeek(FirstDayOfYear(Date($YYYY,1,1))) + Weeks([Record ID#]);
If(Year($WeekRaw) =$YYYY, $WeekRaw)
Then make a saved table to table import from 53 Weeks into the child table, mapping the [Record ID# of Parent Record] into the field [Related Parent]. On that import filter where the Week is not blank.
On the parent record presumably there is some kind of Date field. One way or the other, maybe by direct data entry, get the Year onto that record.
Create an Automation triggered by say a checkbox being edited on a Parent record.
Step 1. Modify the Automation focus record to copy in the Year and the Record ID#]
Step 2 Run the import.
That should do it! Post back if you get stuck or contact me for direct one on one assistance.
