Calender: first day of the week problem

on my macbook i have monday as the first day of the week in month view. on the ipad (and iphone) sunday is shown as the first day, which is a real pain for someone who has more of a visual recollection of the week than a list of dates. can i change this behaviour anywhere?
thanks.

many thanks for that, problem solved.
well sort of. now i'm in new zealand with a uk formatted ipad, which will doubtless cause a ripple of problems in other apps. we will see.
maybe the guys at apple would like to look at allowing the user to override the global settings in each app. this is important for people who work internationally. i wonder where the feedback pages are.
thanks.

Can I change the first day of the week on my ipod touch

I have a new Ipod touch, which i recently upgraded to OS 3.0. I was wondering if it is possible to set the first day of the week in Ical to Sunday instead of Saturday?
Thanks

The International Region Format controls the start day of your calendar display. UK region format sets the display to start on Monday. US region format will start the calendar on Sunday. However, that setting also controls your date, time and phone number formats, so using it would only cause you more problems.
Tell Apple you want the option to set the calendar week start independent of the international region format using the feedback page. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

First day of the week changing wp8.1

In WP8.1 is there a way, other than changing the country setting, of changing the first day of the week? If that is the only way is there a list of which countries start on which particular day and have which particular number format?

Thank you again for you help Mathias, unfortunately that doesn't have which day of the week is first.
I will try answers.microsoft.com although I believe a bug tracker would allow me to flag the problem and then it would be fixed for everyone, not just me solving it through trailing every countries date format.

Weekdays option in alarm does not correspond to first day of the week option in calendar

I am based in Oman where the week is Saturday to Thursday and Friday is weekly off instead of Sunday. Inspite of changing first day of the week to saturday in calendar option and choosing weekdays option in Alarm, it rings on Fridays and does not ring on Sundays. Its very upsetting. Can anyone suggest a solution for this?? Thanks in advance.

i just did this on my Blackberry curve 8330 to make sure my answer was correct, and what i was able to do was.
Go to your calender, select the first day you would like it to start i i will start monday for example, Recurrence set to weekly. when selecting weekly another option will appear below it ( S M T W T F S ) highlight and select a letter that marks the day Saturday , Monday , Tuesday Ect. and the letting will become BOLD meaning it is selected. Thus giving you the option to select any , and as many days per week you wish, and have the recurrence as often as you want

Moving a GregorianCalendar to the first day of the week

I'm using a GregorianCalendar class in order to get the time stamp for the nearest Sunday's date.
here's what I'm trying to do:
1. get a timeStamp and set it into a date
Date startDate = new Date(startTime);2. create a new GregorianCalendar using the above date as the start time.
GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar((startDate.getYear()+1900),startDate.getMonth(),startDate.getDate());3. the tricky part: make sure the calnedar's date is set to Sunday, if the current date is on any day other then Sunday, I will have to move it back to the nearest Sunday. I'm trying to do this by using:
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 0); for some reason this does not work...
am I doing anything wrong here?

thanks for that info but the problem is still there. here's some more input:
//creating the date, the ts here is 1153858800000 which is the dated in 7/25/2006
Date startDate = new Date(startTime);
//creating the new calendar
GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar((startDate.getYear()+1900),startDate.getMonth(),startDate.getDate());
//setting the calendar to the first hour (not sure it necessary)
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR, 1);
//setting the calendar to the first day of the week
calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 1);
//this returns 1153778400000 which is still dated 7/25/2006 whic is a Tuesday I would expect it to returns a different date
calendar.getTimeInMillis()

Setting the first day of the week

Hi,
Is there any other place in Mac OS X where I could set system's first day of the week, except iCal? In iCal it's set to Sunday, but in OmniFocus mini calendars show Monday as the first day of the week, although even there in OmniFocus preferences I've set it to use Sunday as the first day of the week. Developer says that OmniFocus is using system's settings, but nowhere in my system (except iCal) I can find where I could set the first day of the week. I have set English as the default language and order of list sorting in the International settings. Any ideas or suggestions?

Unless it is set with the Country in the International preferences, I don't think their tech support knows what they are talking about. However, if that is where it would be set, you should be able to override it with the custom settings, but you can't.
I'd ask them to tell you where that gets set, or is stored. Ask them what system call is used to get that value. My guess is they won't be able to tell you.

Changing the calendar settings: Sunday as the first day of the week

Dear Masters of SAP universe,
In ECC6.0, I am using a LIS info-structure with the period split set to week.
I would like to know how can I change the calendar settings in order to consider Sunday as the first day of the week, instead of Monday.
For example:
A sales order created on Dec 12th creates the record 201049 in the info structure S900 - SPWOC.
I would like to have it as 201050, where 50 is the currently week in the system.
I already checked OSS notes and the transaction SCAL for customizing. But I did not find a solution this issue.
Your help is highly appreciated!

hi,
this seems to be a calendar issue.
please check for OSS also - 1158474.

United Kingdom Regional Format sets Monday as the first day of the week.

With the Region Settings (Settings -> General -> International -> Region Format) set to United Kingdom, Calendar displays Monday as the first day of the week. I have seen other posts whereby it was suggested to change to US Internationalization but this will also change the date and telephone number formats to US settings, far more frustrating.
Have I been sheltered from properly formatted calendars all my life or is this a mistake and it should start the week on Sunday. It is consistent in both the Week and Month view.
Am I crazy or does anyone else agree with is?

Same here. One of the first things I do in this sort of application is switch week start to Mondays.

I don't believe its possible to change the first day of the week.

Changing the first day-of-the-week on the MyTimesheets app

IN the SAP ECC and Portal implementations of the timesheet app, we were recently able to change the display so the first day of the week is listed as Monday, rather than Sunday. I would like to do the same thing with Fiori.
That is, when the app starts up the first view a calendar view of the whole month. If a person wants to enter time manually, they click the button labeled "manual" and a data entry screen pops up. The first day of the week listed across the top is Sunday, which does not reflect our settings in ECC. We need the 1st day of the week to be Monday.
Is there a configuration change we can make to force the 1st day of the week to be Monday, as it is in ECC?
thanks for your help!
-Rob Solomon

Hi Rob,
Are you using Wave2 app? You could change the setting for first day of the week in CAC1 and Fiori Timesheet app will adjust te calendar accordingly.
Nothing needs to be done for Fiori app.
Please update UIX01HCM to SP03 if you are using Wave2 app?
Best Regards

From where to get "First day of the week" data for all the locales, is it present in CLDR spec 24?

I am trying to get "First day of the week" data from CLDR spec24 but cannot find where to look for it in the spec. I need this data to calculate numeric value of "LOCAL day of the week".
This data to implement "c" and "cc" day formats that equals numeric local day of the week.
e.g if "First day of the week" data for a locale is 2 (Monday) , it means numeric value for local day of the week will be 1 if it is Monday that day, 2 if it is Tuesday that day and likewise.

Hi
If you want to week to be started with Sunday then use the following formula:
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 1-DAYOFWEEK(Date'@{var_Date}'), Date'@{var_Date}') if it's retail week(starts from Monday) then the follow below:
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 1-DAYOFWEEK(Date'@{var_Date}'), Date'@{var_Date}')
I'm assuming var_Date is the presentation variable for prompt...

Change first day of the week from Monday to Sunday(0CALWEEK)

Hello!
We have a report that display the data at a calendar week level. The start of the week currently show as Monday( retreived from FM - WEEK_GET_FIRST_DAY).
Is there a global setting in source system to change the start day of the week from Monday to Sunday? I can always make this change in the transformation but would like to know if there is a global option to make this change so the rest of the reports display the same.
Thanks
Sirisha

You can check this SAP Note 624627 - Sunday first day of the week also a working day (Collective)
Might be helpful.

Getting first day of the week

Dear All.
As there is one function module BWSO_DATE_GET_FIRST_WEEKDAY which returns the first day of the week but its Monday but in our case we require Saturday and in some cases Monday.
our user in UK are running the same report in which i have to calculate the stock base on starting day Monday and other uses are in KSA where the starting day of the week is Saturday.
Is there any standard option available do achieve this.
Kind regards,

Hi Zeeshan,
There are two options
Option 1: In Routine or CMOD or in Variable use offset +5 or -2 according to your reporting requirements.
Option 2: Maintain the table entries 52 Posting periods in T0009 or in custom table with special FISCAL Variant. (i.e., each week = one posting period). Have a loop up in that table according to your requirement.
Hope either one of the option would help you in meeting your requirement.
Best Wishes,
BVC

Want to make Monday as the first day of the week in GregorianCalendar. how?

hi
I need to know what day is the first of the month is. for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of Dec 2004 is saturday.
I am using the GregorianCalendar:
1. GregorianCalendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1); //set date to 1st Nov 2004
2. int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);now firstDay is 2. This is because the week starts from Sunday, so Monday is the 2nd day.
But I am in Uk and my Uk Calendar shows monday as the first day (even in Windows 2000 Calendar).
I would like the GregorianCalendar to have Monday as the first day of the week, so that the
int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
returns 1 in the above case.
I also tried adding
calendar.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY); just between line 1 and line 2, but it did not help.
This is because i don't want to manually subtract 1. If i manually subtract one, then the program might not work in other locale and timezones.
Also if I subtract 1, then for 1 Feb 2004,
int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
will return 1 as 1st Feb 2004 falls on Sunday. so if i subtract 1 it will be 0, so I have to do a extra checking for 0.
Is there anyway to make the Calendar have Monday as the first day of the week??

hi
I need to know what day is the first of the month is.Why does this matter? Since we know that 1 == Sunday and 2 == Monday... Why do you need Monday to be == 1? and couldn't you just subtract 1 if it's so important?
for example the 1st of Nov 2004 is Moday and 1st of
Dec 2004 is saturday.
I am using the GregorianCalendar:
1. GregorianCalendar calendar = new
GregorianCalendar(2004,11,1); //set date to 1st Nov
2004
2. int firstDay = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);now firstDay is 2. This is because the week starts
from Sunday, so Monday is the 2nd day.
