Easier way to check day of the week

Hi, I was wondering if there's a easier way where I can check the day of the week on my MacBook Pro (AKA, 1/30/13 is a Wednesday).It takes time to open up the calender app so I was wondering if there's a easier way to check like Windows system where you just click the date/time on the right hand corner and it will bring up a mini calender.

system preferences> under system, date and time. check show day of the week.

Is there any way to change the first day of the week back to Monday in iCal for iPhone?

With the new upgrade, iCal in my iphone is now showing Sunday as the first day of the week.

Hi! The only way I know of is changing the screen resolution. Tom

Is there a way to change the start day for the week?

So I really like the "Insert Categories from the following" functionality of the Reorganize tool, and I fell in love with it's ability to break down by date automagically. I've encountered one problem with my use of it, though: I start my "work week" on Sunday, and it defaults to Monday as the first day of a week without any seeming way to change it to Sunday. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Christopher,
The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
WEEKDAY
The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
Â date: The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
Â first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted): Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
Monday is 1 (2): Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3): Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.

Is there any way to sort the alarms differently in the Clock app? I have alarms for multiple days during the week, all of which overlap each other. It makes no sense to me that the alarms sort by time and not day. Thanks!

No, there is no way to change the sort order.

Oracle returning incorrect day of the week

Hi there,
I have a table named Performance, which includes a date field named PDATE, some other attributes such as title, etc, and a field named WEEKDAY, which includes the numerical value for the day of the week. Here is an example:

I went to verify the day of the week in a calendar (in fact I checked more than one) and I noticed that the Weekday value seems incorrect. For instance, the 2nd of March was a Tuesday so I would expect WEEKDAY to say 3 (considering Sunday to be the 1st day of the week, which is the universal norm), or perhaps 2 (considering Monday to be the 1st day of the week).
First thing that came to mind is, since the WEEKDAY is a number field which has been pre-populated, the person who populated it made a mistake.
So I went to verify this by running a query that would give me the correct day of the week by extracting it from the PDATE field:
SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YYYY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
FROM ops$yyang00.Performance
ORDER BY pdate
And to my astonishment, I got the following table as a return:
PDATE
YEAR

As you can see, all of the above WEEKDAYCALC values are incorrect, and seem to match the incorrect values in WEEKDAY.
I could perhaps understand some weird WEEKDAY numbering if there is some general database setting where I could specify any day of the week to be the first day. However, I can't think of any logical explanation on why Oracle would call a Tuesday Sunday.
Could someone please advise what I mght be doing wrong? This is driving me insane!
Thank you in advance for all the help and support.

P.

Based on your explanations, I changed the formula so the date format would be processed as YY rather than YYY.
SELECT DISTINCT pdate, EXTRACT(year from pdate) year,
to_char(to_date(pdate,'DD/MM/YY'),'DY') weekdaycalc, weekday
FROM Performance

The interesting bit here, is the original WEEKDAY field, which clearly has been created with the same mistake I did (this whole table wasn't created by me). I reckon I spotted a design bug.
Regards,
P.
No; you're still calling TO_DATE on something that is already a DATE, and you're still using an implicit conversion (only now you're using a format such that the current NLS settings don't cause you to get punished. If your DBA changes the NLS settings next week, then you will have similar errors again.)
If you want to see what day of the week pdate is, then use:
TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY')
or, to make it NLS-independent:
TO_CHAR (pdate, 'DY', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH')
This is simpler than what you posted, it's more efficient and easier to debug and to maintain, and it also gets the results you want in all cases.
One more time: TO_DATE, as the name hints, converts something (a VARCHAR2, to be precise) TO a DATE. If pdate is already a DATE, then what do you need to convert? You're implicitly converting a DATE to a VARCHAR2, then explicitly converting that VARCHAR2 back to a DATE, and then calling TO_CHAR. That's 3 function calls (1 of them error prone) where only 1 is needed.
Also if you ever have to reconcile 2-digit years with 4-digit years (and, again, in this problem you don't) the correct way is to convert the 2-digit year to a 4-digit year, not vice-versa.
Calling Tuesday the 1st day of the week could make sense in a particular application.

Day of the week?

Is there a way to check if the entered date is a certain day of the week?
I just would like to alert the user if the date that was entered, which i have format "m/d/yy" on the format properties, that the date they entered is not a Sunday date. I tried to use the util.scand function but then was unable to figure out how to script it to look for the value to be Sunday.
I tried to put the following in the validation script:
var EFDT = event.value;
var day = util.scand("dddd", EFDT);
if(day.value!="Sunday")
{app.alert("Most changes should be effective on a Sunday, please check that the entered date is the correct date that the change should take place.")}
console.println(day.value)
the only time I get the alert is when I reset the form...
in the debugger i get:
day is null
4:Field:ValidateException in line 4 of function top_level, script Field:Validate
TypeError: day is null
4:Field:Validate
i am sure this means that my if criteria is not correct syntax, but i have run into a dead end when trying to search for more help.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

The custom validate script for the data field could be something like:
(function () {
    // Do nothing if field is blank
    if (!event.value) return;
    // Get the entered date, as a date object
    var ed = util.scand("m/d/yy", event.value);
    // If the date is not a Sunday...
    if (ed.getDay() !== 0) {
        // Alert user
        app.alert("Your message goes here.", 3);
        // Optionally, reject the entry
        event.rc = false;
Edit: corrected code

Add recurring entries for days of the week

Hello,
I'm trying to setup a daily schedule for my dog walking business. I'd like to have each dog's name automaticaly listed under the day of the week which they are to walk on.
For example: "Scarlett" walks on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
If B1 says "Tuesday" can I have one of the cells in that column automatically read "Scarlett" each week?
I'd like to have it so that all I have to do is put Tuesday up at the top and it automatically creates a list of my Tuesday dogs for me, Lulu, Scarlett, Mark, Dani, Zoe, Sharky, etc.

Ah, those famous words, "All I have to do..."
Here's a partial solution. Unfortunately, it doesn't cover the "all I have to do" part. More about that in the description. Click the image for a larger version.
Table 1 (Data) is the table on which the name of each dog is entered (column A) and the days that dog is to be walked recorded using check box cells.
Table 2 (Index) creates a set of lookup tables from the information recoded on Data. Each table contains a column for the day listing a serial number to represent each dog scheduled to be walked that day and the column containing the names of the dogs, plus any intervening columns. The list of dogs has bee moved to the right as I was considering using VLOOKUP, which requires the search values to be listed to the left of the result values.
Tables 3 through 9 are the daily lists. These were created as a single seven-column table, then split into separate single column tables for each day.
Formulas:
Data: No formulas on this table.
Index:
A2: =IF(Data::B,MAX(A$1:A1)+1,"")
Fill down to row 10, then select A2:A11 and fill right to column G.
H2: =Data::A
H2 (enhanced): =IF(LEN(Data::A)>0,Data::A,"")
Fill down to H11
(Enhanced version prevents showing a zero on rows where no dog's name has been entered on Data.)
Days:
Make a seven column table with one header row.
A1: Sunday
Fill right to G1.
A2: =IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Index :: A),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Index :: A,Index :: $H))
Fill down to A11. Select A2:A11, Fill right to column G.
Separate the table into seven single column tables, one for each day.
To do this:
Click on any cell to make the table active and show the column and row reference tabs.
Click one of the column reference tabs to select that column.
Click the same tab a second time and drag down until the column separates from the rest of the table. Continue to drag until the column is completely separated from the table, then release the mouse button.
Repeat for the rest of the columns to be separated.
Each of these tables may be placed on a separate sheet to make printing a single list easier if desired.

Barry

How to set first day of the week?

I'm trying to set up my iPad calendar so that my week view starts on Monday. My calendar on my desktop & MoblieMe starts the week on Monday which is what I want but my iPad starts on Sunday (even though it has been synced with my desktop & MoblieMe too). Please help! Thanks!

Actually, I tried both UK and Australia, and Sunday was still the first day of the week.
HOWEVER!!!
Woohoo!! American Samoa works, and doesn't seem to change any other formats (although admittedly I have not made an exhaustive search - just checked the International Example thing recommended by Matthias suggested.
Matthias, thanks very much by the way!!

Background color based on day of the week?

I have a column filled with dates going from 1-1-2007 to 12-31-2007. Using the autofill it was easy getting the dates auto-filled in. The only trouble with the overview is that's rather hard to see which days belong to the weekend, and which belong to the workweek (forgive my english..).
Is there a way to automatically color the background of a cell, based on that specific data?
If not, is it possible then to create a pattern? like 5cells green, 2 cells red, 5 cells green, 2cells red.. etc. you get the point.
I thank you in advance for your help!

I solved the problem it seems. I'll leave it for others with this trouble:
In make case I just made the first two weekend cells Blue. I made a selection of these cells + 5 extra (the 5 days during the week). Then I just take the rightlower corner and start dragging to the lowest cell, overwriting the current cells, making them still appear the same but now with a 2 blue colored cells every 7 cells.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Weekly schedule line should pass to last working day of the week in SAg

HI,
In a scheduling agreement when we have weekly or monthly schedules the system displays the date in the screen as 12/2010 or 13/2010 for say a weekly schedule.
However when the data is stored in the table the delivery date is always the first working day of the week. In this case when the week is 13/2010 the data is stored in the table as 22/03/2010.
Is there any way to change this to the last working day of the week?
We have some config related to define delivery intervals in IMG--> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules --> Define Delivery Intervals. Will this help solve my issue? If it solves what is the procedure behind this?
Request you to provide your inputs.
Thank You, Lakshmikanth

Hi,
Seems the delivery split concept is different from this requirement. Can Delivery intervals concept help us or not? IMG--> Slaes and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules --> Control EDI Inbound Processing --> Define Delivery Intervals.
What is the procedure and assignment details for delivery intervals concept?
Thanks, Lakshmikanth

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

Wrong starting day of the week printing calendar in month view

I'm trying to print a month view calendar with the weeks starting from Monday.
In "Preferences" -> "General tab" ->"Start week on:" I've set Monday, and it is properly viewed in Calendar, but when I try to print it in the preview I see Tuesday as first day of the week.
This happens on many MacBook that I've tried, all with Yosemite and Italian regional settings.
The only way to resolve this issue is to open "System Preferences" ->"Language & Region" and change the "First day of the week:" on Sunday in all my "Preferred Languages" (both Italian and English), to have the printing preview of a calendar starting on Monday!
Is there an other way?
Is this a bug that should be submitted to Apple to get a "patch" on future releases of Mac OS X?
I know, it is a tiny issue, but annoying.

Re: Calendar printing problem

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.

Cannot turn on "Show the day of the week" option in Date & Time

OS X Lion turns "Show the day of the week" option off each time I open that preference pane and after every reboot. My region in Formats tab of Language & Text preference pane is set to "Russia (Russian)". I've noticed that the problem doesn't appear when region is set to US (I didn't try others). Is there any known workaround, except changing my region preference?

Me too.
And I have a workaround, until Фззду fixes it finally:
1) Go to the ~/Library/Preferences, locate a file named com.apple.menuextra.clock.plist, open it with Plist editor (comes with XCode) or just with TextEdit.
2) There's DateFormat key in it, change it to "EEE H:mm", save the file.
3) Now Cmd-I (right click - Get info) on that file in Finder, and check option named "Locked" ("Защита").
System Preferences' Date & Time pane sets the aforementioned DateFormat to "ccc H:mm" when you tick the "Show the day of the week" option, while in Russian locale. And in English it becomes "EEE H:mm". The problem is that Sys.pref and even SystemUIServer (that shows the menu) processes somehow do not like the former value and erase it. After every relaunch of SystemUIServer (after reboot or being killed) tries to change "EEE" to "ccc" again (which would be cleared to nothing next time), that is why you have to lock the plist file.
