# \$1isoDayOfWeek
<a name="isoDayOfWeek"></a>

The `$isoDayOfWeek` operator in Amazon DocumentDB returns the ISO day of the week for a date as an integer value. The ISO week date system defines each week starting on a Monday and ending on a Sunday, with week 1 being the week that contains the year's first Thursday.

**Parameters**
+ `expression`: The date expression for which to return the ISO day of the week.

## Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates how to use the `$isoDayOfWeek` operator to retrieve the ISO day of the week for a set of event documents.

**Create sample documents**

```
db.events.insertMany([
  { _id: 1, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-01T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 2, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-02T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 3, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-03T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 4, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-04T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 5, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-05T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 6, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-06T12:00:00Z") },
  { _id: 7, eventDate: ISODate("2023-04-07T12:00:00Z") }
]);
```

**Query example**

```
db.events.aggregate([
  { $project: {
    _id: 1,
    eventDate: 1,
    isoDayOfWeek: { $isoDayOfWeek: "$eventDate" }
  }}
]);
```

**Output**

```
[
  { "_id": 1, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-01T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 6 },
  { "_id": 2, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-02T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 7 },
  { "_id": 3, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-03T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 1 },
  { "_id": 4, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-04T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 2 },
  { "_id": 5, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-05T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 3 },
  { "_id": 6, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-06T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 4 },
  { "_id": 7, "eventDate": ISODate("2023-04-07T12:00:00Z"), "isoDayOfWeek": 5 }
]
```
