Make Monday the default first day of the week

[jnordcrane1]

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered (but I can't not find it by searching the forum): how do you change the Excel first day of the week from Sunday to Monday on a global level (i.e. for every workbook/worksheet) as an Excel system setting ... not using formulas everytime? Since Monday is the first day of the week in most western cultures, why does Excel start the week on Sunday? Maddening.

If this has already been asked/answered, can someone then direct me to that posting. MANY THANKS!!

While, for example, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan and other countries consider Sunday as the first day of the week, and while the week begins with Saturday in much of the Middle East, the international ISO 8601 standard[a] has Monday as the first day of the week.
