I'm pretty sure I made Apple add a feature to Numbers (you know, their Excel equivalent).

So, I keep a ridiculously elaborate spreadsheet (like, really, it's so large and nerdy I'm ashamed to show it to people, but at same time I'm not) logging my walks and marches since 2011. It has tables to have it calculate stats and graphs, and some formulas require a week-number from a date I enter. Of course, there is the function WEEKNUMBER, which gets that, but it counts week 1 as always starting on 1 January, which isn't right according to the international standard and most calendars in the world, which means about half the years use week-numbers one above what my calendar tells me. So I used the feedback feature in Numbers about half a year ago to send them the suggestion that they should add a function that counts "ISO weeks", so the 'real', standardised week-numbers that match those on my calendar. Lo and behold, there was an update recently, which added the function ISO.WEEKNUMBER. Oh yes. Coincidence? I choose to believe not.

Don't everybody thank me at once.
