Define the First Week of the Year

Use the General tab on the Options dialog box to define the first week of the year that is used in your calculations. Week 1 is the first week on the year. For selections other than User Locale, you must view your project in a timescaled view that has a scale set to weekly and select Show Week Number to display the week number in the heading for each time period.

1. Select "Preferences" from the application menu at the top left.

   The General tab on the Options dialog box opens.

2. Choose the first week of the year in the First Week of Year drop-down.
