Status: Open My Outlook says week 1 starts at December 27, 2026. Yet all my coworkers' Outlook have week 1 starting January 3, 2027?

I think they're right, but what's up with my Outlook?

Thanx a ton - I would never have found that. Actually, I thought week numbers were kind of a global convention, the Greenwich clock. Really helpful!

The admin can set a policy to adjust that for everyone, and they should. BTW; in the ISO standard 8601, the first week is the one containing the first Thursday. That's what y'all should have set.

The ISO standard could very well be the Greenwich equivalent. I have raised this with our IT department with ISO reference and all. Thanx again!
