How can I make weekly sales reports using the UK week Monday to Sunday rather than Sunday to Saturday?

Having put in the dates (the last 6 months) and selected Weekly, QBO defaults their Week to be the US norm of Sunday to Saturday which confuses the results. I can't see anywhere that I can change this to the more normal UK version of the week. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi cndh, QuickBooks is originally a US product that has been regionalized across several countries - as such, some of the base terminology and date features may take an Americanized format. We appreciate the standard business in the UK runs from Mon - Sun, and we've shared feedback on this with our team in hopes to have this targeted in future. 🙂

Further to my question above, I've seen that this issue has been raised a few times over the years by other UK businesses but not really answered.

One answer a couple of years ago was that it was not possible. If that is the case, then my question becomes "Why not?" I don't know of any UK business that works Sunday to Saturday, but I appreciate there might be. To me, it does not make any sense to split the weekend like this.

I received a notification today (14th June 2023) that this was now solved. I was quite excited! By 'solved', I had imagined that the issue was solved, but apparently QB believes that their answer to my (and many others) OP has sufficiently solved the issue.

 

The issue of weekly reports defaulting to the American Sunday to Saturday still exists, so it has not really been SOLVED.

 

When British companies can get weekly reports Monday to Sunday, then it will have been solved.
