SharePoint provides a calendar which can be used to track upcoming events and schedules. OOB calendar is quite powerful - It can be used to track deadlines, implement reminder alert, add workflow to achieve business logic, integrate with other OOB web parts and so on. By default the Calendar would be displayed as the following:

default the Calendar

As you can see it even includes the weekends in the view which is by design. In one of the project requirements I had to hide the weekends from the view so that the users see only the week days.

Let’s see how to do it

First step is to set Monday as start date in the calendar view. In order to do this go to Site settings.

click Site setting

Click on Regional settings.

Regional settings

By default the first day of the week is set to Sunday.

set to Sunday

Change first day of week to Monday.

Change First day

Now the Saturday and Sunday columns would align towards the end the calendar. We can hide those using CSS.

In order to do this, from Site settings edit the calendar view page.

Site settings

Add Content Editor Web Part (CEWP) to the calendar page as below:

media and content

From the CEWP, click on Edit Source and add the css to hide the calendar columns that correspond to Saturday and Sunday.

CEWP

Place the following CSS on to the CEWP script window:

HTML Source

  1. <style type="text/css">
  2. table.ms-acal-month > tbody > tr > th:nth-of-type(1) {
  3. display: none !important;
  4. }
  6. table.ms-acal-month > tbody > tr > th:nth-of-type(7) {
  7. display: none !important;
  8. }
  10. table.ms-acal-month > tbody > tr > th:nth-of-type(8) {
  11. display: none !important;
  12. }
  14. table.ms-acal-month > tbody > tr > td:nth-of-type(6) {
  15. display: none !important;
  16. }
  18. table.ms-acal-month > tbody > tr > td:nth-of-type(7) {
  19. display: none !important;
  20. }
  21. </style>
code

On applying this CSS to the above calendar table we can hide the weekend columns.

Finally the calendar view shows only week days.

Thus we have seen how we can remove weekends from the default calendar view. This has been tested with both Share Point 2013 and 2016.
