Customize Calendar Descriptions
Calendar | Description |
---|---|
Gregorian Calendar | Uses the traditional calendar format (January through December, with 30 or 31 days and a variable number of weeks in each month). |
Modified Gregorian Calendar | Uses the Traditional Gregorian Calendar but enables you to select the first month of the year and first day of the week. |
4-5-4 Retail Calendar | Breaks down each month by the number of weeks in the month. Meaning, January has four weeks, and so on. The National Retail Federation uses the 4-5-4 calendar format. |
Custom Calendar |
Offers three formats based on the number of weeks in each month. The number of weeks in each month depends on the selected first day of the year. A year has 52 weeks. Divide that into 4 quarters and you get 13 weeks per quarter. But there are 3 months in a quarter. 13 is not divisible by three so you end up putting the extra week into one of the months so that it’s always consistent.
