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)
  date:  The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
  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.

Barry

    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.

  • Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

    I have a loop (Modern Guitar Rock 04), which I've extended out so it repeats four times. I select the Fade Tool and X-Fade for drag. I then drag just in front of the loop and onto it, which creates a fade. However, this also creates fades at the beginning of the repeating loops. Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

    The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

    So will you  please facilitate us on this matter.

    Give apple feedback regarding this.
    For a temporary fix, change your region? Get a 3rd party Calendar app that fits your needs?
    I assume your current region is set in the photo?
    If so, pick a region that has a start day of Sunday. (either historically or known for the present)
    Note, with changing your region, it will change the default phone number prefix/country code for new contacts and addresses. (calling and SMS is not affected)

  • APO-SCM5 Configuring the Start Day of the week (e.g., Monday)

    Where can we configure the start day of the week (e.g., Monday or Sunday).  When we release DP to SNP, order category FA=FC Reqs are falling on Monday.  I am being asked where this is set at we have seen disturbing results where some location-producta have FC Reqs on Monday and some Sunday.  We are trying to determine if there is some sort of bug in SCM 5 as in APO4.0 all FC Reqs fell on a Monday at time= 00:00:00

  • Is there any way I can get more fonts for the online photoshop?

    I know that this might sound a bit silly since I'm getting the services for free, but I was just curious if there was a way I could get more fonts for the online version. Maybe I'd be better off with the full program. Just curious! (:

    When you say online version, do you mean you are using the Creative Cloud trial?
    Photoshop accesses fonts on your computer, so all you have to do is purchase or download free ones from a fonts website.
    Here is a website with reasonably high quality free fonts: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/.
    Good luck!

  • Macro to Unlock the Cell on the start day of the Fiscal period

    Dear Experts
    We are using  fiscal periods for the forecasting.1 period = 15 days.We forecast for 24 fiscal periods.
    We only give chance to some customers to update forecast on  1 day of the fiscal period in the customer planning book .In this regard we have to lock the cell all most all the days except on 1 st day of the fiscal period.If the first of the Fiscal period is Sunday or Saturday, system should not unlock.
    We did not maintained any Time stream ID to the storage bucket profile.
    Example:
    KF1 is used by our customers to update forecast.This keyfigure should always in the unedit mode.On the first day of the Fiscal period system should unlock the keyfigure.If first day of the period is saturday or sunday then system should not unlock this keyfigure.
    Can we use calender in Macro?
    Is it possible to achieve above logic in our case since we did not maintained time stream ID in storage bucket profile.
    Please give your expertise opinion on my requirment.
    regards
    Vicky

    Hi Vicky,
    Whilst other simpler  options are given by others for locking /unlocking a KF with macros, Work around as below,  if feasible in your environment.
    Create two planning books (or with authorization at data view level, 2 data views).
    One planning book PB1 with the KF1 in  non-edit mode. This will be used normally.
    Other planning book PB2 with KF1 in edit mode.
    Create one more authorization profile/ role   for each customer user.
    Assign this additional authorization profile/ role only on specific dates as per background job to give additional authorizations.
    Otherwise, if  no. of user licenses is not an issue, then create an additional user id for each of the customer with additional authorizations and unlock these additional user accounts only on specific dates by background jobs.
    We had in one project, some additional user accounts for similar( not exactly same) requirement. This gave better traceability.
    Regards

  • Is there a way to change to different colors on the bottom behind the apps?

    I want to know if there is a way to change the background color behind the apps at the bottom of the screen and in the folder with multiple apps in it.

    The color in both of these areas is a fogged version of the background wallpaper image behind the area. If you want something different choose a different wallpaper.

  • Is there a way to upload a dictionary generated for the XOS Dictionary App to the hidden dictionary app of iPad or iPhone, respectively?

    Dear All,
    I started to generate on my MacBook, with the Tools provided with XCode 5, to generate a dictionary for the Dictionary App which runs fine on my Max OSX machines. Now I wonder if there is a way to upload the dictionary to the hidden dictionary app of iOS to use the dictionary on iPad and iPhone via the "define"-option of highlighted words. All of curse under the assumption both applications use the same dictionary formate, what I guess since both outputs look very similar. The hidden app of iOS downloads dictionaries somehow from iCloud as the cloud symbol suggests. But does anyone know how to upload dictionaries to there e.g. from a MacBook to be able to download it subsequently with iPad or iPhone in the "manage"-Mode of the hidden dictionary app?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
    Juergen

    SOLVED!!!!!
    This is the app:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dictionary.appender/id650562573?mt=8
    I emailed the maker of the app and he said to just follow these instructions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    File share the .dictionary file to your ipad and then add it from the list of addable languages.  It took a minute for it to show up on my ipad but it DID work.  It is working with iBooks. 
    Happy reading.
    Thanks for the help and suggestions.

  • Is there a way to set two different settings for the backlight?

    I was wondering if there is a way for me to set the backlight to always on when watching videos on my 5G 30 gig iPod and off when doing anything else?
    Or do I have to manually go in and change the setting everytime?

    The backlight will always be on when watching videos. This is automatic, regardless of the setting.

  • Is there a way to change default Reminder List for new Reminders?

    In iCal, I have Reminders showing.  I have three Reminder Lists, but I've only got one List checked so only that List's Reminders show up.  When I create a new Reminder, iCal always wants to create it in one of the unchecked Lists - always the same List, but not the one currently showing.  I always have to finish creating the new Reminder, and then change it to be part of the other Reminder List.  And, because iCal insists on creating the new Reminder in one of the unchecked (non-displayed) Lists, it checks the box for me so now I have to go an uncheck it again to restore the display of only one List.
    Am I doing something wrong or is iCal Reminder creation just this clunky?
    Is there some way to tell iCal to use a particular Reminder List for creating new Reminders in?

    Duh.  Found it right on the General tab of iCal's Preferences.
    I really don't know how I missed that.
