Question
What day is the start of the week for Explore's week attributes?
Answer
If you have configured an account-wide start of week, Explore uses that day as the start of the week in all week attributes, day of week attributes, and filters.
If you haven’t configured an account-wide start of week, then the profile locale of a user determines the start of the week for that user. For example, if the user’s locale is English (United States), then the start of the week in the reports and filters is Sunday. If the user’s locale is English (United Kingdom), then the start of the week is Monday.

My user profile language is English (United States), but the work week still starts on Monday.
Hi Walter,
Thank you for reporting this to us. This is strange as I have switched my profile from English (Uk) to (United States and the days of the week reflected right away. Would you be able to see if clearing the cache would help? If it still perists, would you want me to proceed to create a new ticket as I need tot assume into your account to replicate it on my end.
Please let me know how I can help.
Cheers,

Has this been fixed? Because the week of the year on all my reports are one week off. This is week 47 but my reports say week 46.
I'd be happy to check your dashboard and verify the discrepancy in your report. I'll go ahead and look for your existing ticket with us!
hi Cheeny Aban
Do you know if there is a way to lock the whole Explore account to EN-GB language or other way to make week start from Monday for the whole account, rather than by an individual user?
Many thanks for your help
hey Vladimir Petrushenko
There is an account wide seeting you can change for this. It's a new feature which has just been released this month. Check it out here:

Hope this helps. :)
thanks Amie Brennan yes, it did help
Hi,
I'd like to point out that for Hebrew, start of the week should be Sunday and not Monday.
Thanks,
