)
select 
    year(DateValue) * 10000 + month(DateValue) * 100 + day(DateValue) as DateKey, DateValue,        
    datediff(day, dateadd(week, datediff(week, 0, DateValue), 0), DateValue) + 2 as DayOfWeek,
    datediff(week, dateadd(month, datediff(month, 0, DateValue), 0), DateValue) + 1 as WeekOfMonth,
    datediff(week, dateadd(year, datediff(year, 0, DateValue), 0), DateValue) + 1 as WeekOfYear
