Week start with Monday

Sander K · 09/04/20

Hello All

How can I set the calendars in Smartsheet so that the first day of the week is Monday? I have googled and googled, but didn't find answers.

I can choose the start day in project settings as Monday, but the calendar drop down menus are still starting with Sunday.. It is quite annoying.

Hi @Sander K

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Hi,

We are currently evaluating Smartsheet and we have now experienced that we can change first of week to Mnoday as it is common in Europe (special in northern Europe).

Form the comments in here we can see that this are not a new issue. Any news on this?

How is it possible that the week start can still not be changed to Monday? I've seen requests from over five years ago and you haven't implemented it yet. I feel like you despise all of us who are not from the USA or Canada. I was trying the tool, but I will not continue when the try is done. What a lack of respect for all countries except yours.

Please add this! It would be so much user friendly to have the option to start the week on Monday. I'm constantly mixing up days of the week because the Smartsheet calendar doesn't match up with every other calendar I use.

I believe there is a difference in the Calendar Picklist Widget and the Project Calendar (Timeline Display).

As far as the picklist widget goes (as shown in the original question) everyone is right that unfortunately it cannot be configured to show any weekday as the first column.

In case you are looking to display the days in the Project Timeline view (aka Gantt View) to start on a specific weekday (Monday in this case) you can switch to the Gantt View then using the gear icon on the right open the Settings pop-up then under Timeline Display select the "Start Day of the Week" and Apply the changes.

Even for users in the US, when we talk about a project and say week of xxx, it's usually a Monday, so it's not convenient to the Gantt chart label as Sundays. Please update this feature. Thanks!
