Hi there, @murphywolfe.

I appreciate you for getting in touch with us about the feature you need in QuickBooks. I have some information regarding the QuickBooks Online version's capability. 

Currently, an option to change the first day of the week for the reporting is still unavailable. For now, the only workaround available is to run a custom-dated report, then download it to Excel and work on it.

Here's how:

1. Open the Profit and Loss report.
2. Click the drop-down arrow under Report period.
3. Select Custom.
4. Enter the date range.
5. Hit Run report.
6. Press the Export to Excel icon. 

While we assess this, I suggest you visit our QuickBooks Blog to stay updated with all the changes that are being made.

I've also attached an article you can use to set a schedule and email information for a memorized report or group in QuickBooks: Memorize reports in QuickBooks Online.

Drop me a comment below if you have any other questions regarding running reports. I'll be more than happy to help. Wishing you a good one.

Jess,

Has quickbooks decided to add this feature yet?

Sincerely,

Matt

Have QB added the option to change Report date to Monday - Sunday ? 

THANKS 

Hi there, @TRUCKLOAD.

Being able to set the first day of the week when running weekly reports would be awesome. The default setting for this weekly option is from Sunday to Saturday. I'll make sure to relay this message to our team in concern here on my end and add your vote for this one.
 
You can also share your thoughts and ideas through your account. Our product development team reviews all the feedback we receive to ensure we’re meeting the needs of our customers. 

Here's how:

1. Select the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
   
2. Enter your comments or product suggestions then select Next.
3. You'll be provided a list of suggested Help articles related to your comment. You can read through them or select Skip and send message.
4. From the drop-down, choose the appropriate category, then select Send message.

For now, you'll have to customize the report and set the date to Monday to Sunday.

Feel free to comment below if you need further assistance with customizing your reports. I'd be happy to help.

Hello HoneyLynn_G for the explanation.

The running of monthly reports by selecting the date range is still the most basic function, although if you select "the display column by" and select "Weekly" option. The displayed columns still do not show the operating results based on Monday to Sunday, the report still show results for Sun to Sat. So technically your explanation still does not resolve the issue of proper reporting. 

If there is a method to display columns by the operating week, can you please provide the solution?

Thank you, 

D

Hi there, @DCP2.

Thanks for joining this conversation. Allow me to jump in and share information about the display dates on reports in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

As of now, changing the display date/column on the report to operating week (Monday to Sunday) is unavailable. It is currently set to Sunday to Saturday. You can manually enter the date by clicking the Calendar icon as a workaround.

I can see how having the option to choose a different date based on your preference would be helpful for you and your business. I highly suggest sending feedback directly to our product developers. They're always looking for ideas to consider on how to improve QBO.

Here's how to submit feedback:

1. In QBO, select the Gear icon at the top, then Feedback.
2. Enter your comments or product suggestions. Then click Next to submit feedback.

In case you need it, I'll add this article that tackles customizing reports in QBO for more information: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

I'm only a post away if you have more questions about reports or anything else QBO. I'll be here to assist. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of the day.

Hi QBO, I have seen this thread going since 2018 and I am assuming no one sees the value in the start day of the week for reporting purposes as something that is widely needed. The fact is most restaurants report this way and it would be a great add.  Can I pay to have someone add this feature.  It is basically for running an automated weekly P&L to be emailed to partners.  I hope there is ann answer other than it’s not available at this time. 
thank you. 

Thanks for taking the time to follow along with the thread, @Restaurantgroup1. 

While there's no way to pay someone directly to add this feature, you can explore our supported third-party apps that suit your needs and can be integrated with QBO. 

You can use the link I've included below to check out all supported apps.

I'm always around if you have any questions or concerns. Take care! 

I also have the same problem.  I need P&L Reports to run by week, but our week start Monday to Sunday.  the reports by week is Sunday to Saturday.  I wish QB would fix this.  I called support but he couldn't help, but after further research I see why.   Very annoying.  QB please fix this. 

Good to have you here in the Community, @PAlcala.

We appreciate the information you shared about your issue. We understand that every business has a different start day. Having the option to change this automatically will surely save us time in creating reports. This feature is currently unavailable in QBO. As a workaround, you can change the start day manually. 

Follow these steps:

1. Go to Reports.
2. On the search field, type and select Profit and Loss.
3. Under the Report period dropdown, choose Custom.
4. Choose the first date for Monday and the second date for Sunday.
5. Under the Display columns by dropdown, choose Days.
6. Click Run report.

You'll now be able to create a P&L Report that starts on Monday. 

Here's an article for your suggestions or requirements. You can provide feedback to our product engineers: Customer Feedback for QuickBooks Online.

In addition, I've attached an article here for you to easily download your reports: Export reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online.

not available in enterprise. 

I have another client in the same boat with this issue. I am going to have to move them to a different accounting package as well. 

It seems this is happening to many of my clients for one reason or another. What is happening to QuickBooks? Very disappointing after working with them since they came out in 1998.
