Learn how to filter by, read, update, and clear the week column on monday boards using the platform API

The week column contains the relative week(s) (from the current week) of the dates inputted. You can filter by, read, update, and clear the week column via the API.

Filter by the week column

Using the items_page object, you can easily filter a board's items by specific columns or column values. The table below contains the week column's supported operators and compare values.

OperatorsCompare values
any_of
  • "THIS_WEEK" (current week)
  • "NEXT_WEEKS" (future weeks)
  • "PAST_WEEKS" (past weeks)
  • not_any_of
  • "THIS_WEEK" (current week)
  • "NEXT_WEEKS" (future weeks)
  • "PAST_WEEKS" (past weeks)
  • is_emptynull
    is_not_emptynull

    Examples

    The following example returns all items on the specified board with a week column value of any week in the past.

    query {
      boards (ids: 1234567890) {
        items_page (query_params: {rules: [{column_id: "week", compare_value: ["past_weeks"], operator:any_of}]}) {
          items {
            id
            name
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

    Read the week column

    You can query the week column using the column_values object that enables you to return column-specific subfields by sending a fragment in your query. Values for the week column are of the WeekValue type.

    query {
      items (ids:[1234567890, 9876543210]) {
        column_values {
          ... on WeekValue {
            start_date
            end_date
          }
        }
      }
    }
    

    Fields

    end_date DateThe week's end date.
    id ID!The column's unique identifier.
    start_date DateThe column's start date.
    text StringThe range of dates representing the week in YYYY-MM-DD format. This field will return "" if the column has an empty value.
    type ColumnType!The column's type.

    Update the week column

    You can update a week column using the change_multiple_column_values mutation and passing a JSON string in the column_values argument. Simple string updates are not supported.

    JSON

    To update a week column using JSON, send the start and end dates in a YYYY-MM-DD format. The dates must be 7 days apart (inclusive of the first and last date) and start at the beginning of the work week defined in the account settings.

    mutation {
      change_multiple_column_values(item_id:9876543210, board_id:1234567890, column_values: "{\"week\":{ \"week\": {\"startDate\" : \"2019-06-10\", \"endDate\" : \"2019-06-16\"}}}") {
        id
      }
    }
    
    fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
      method: 'post',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        query : "mutation ($myBoardId:Int!, $myItemId:Int!, $myColumnValues:JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values(item_id:$myItemId, board_id:$myBoardId, column_values: $myColumnValues) { id }}",
        variables : JSON.stringify({
          myBoardId: 1234567890,
          myItemId: 9876543210,
          myColumnValues: "{\"week\" : {\"startDate\" : \"2019-06-10\", \"endDate\" : \"2019-06-16\"}}"
        })
      })
    })
    

    Clear the week column

    You can also clear a week column using the change_multiple_column_values mutation and passing null or an empty object in the column_values argument.

    mutation {
      change_multiple_column_values(item_id:9876543210, board_id:1234567890, column_values: "{\"week\" : null}") {
        id
      }
    }
    
    fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
      method: 'post',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        query : "mutation ($myBoardId:Int!, $myItemId:Int!, $myColumnValues:JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values(item_id:$myItemId, board_id:$myBoardId, column_values: $myColumnValues) { id } }",
        variables : JSON.stringify({
          myBoardId: 1234567890,
          myItemId: 9876543210,
          myColumnValues: "{\"week\" : null}"
        })
      })
    })
