I agree with what Mohamed Gebriel mentioned. The Week 0 means nothing.
If your project duration is 60 weeks and you want to show the timescale by ordinal weeks starting by WEEK-0 and ending by WEEK-60 then you will see that your project duration well be 61 weeks. I know that neither you nor your Client wants to show this in the proposal schedule.

I believe this problems goes back to the concept of planning Primavera uses. Even if we talk about days there is no day "0" in planning. Theoritically Day "0" is a (no duration) breakpoint between Day 1 and the day before. Its just a point not a day. The same is with weeks. The 1st week of your project IS week 1. There is no week "0".
Maybe the alternative is to try and convince the client with this logic way of showing the timscale in your reports. Hope I could have been of help.
On the same window that you used to select "Ordinal Dates" you should see (at the bottom of the window) two selection choices...
"Units" - to choose weeks, months etc etc and
"Ordinal Start" - to change the start date (calendar days, referencing your ES, EFs). If you adjust this Ordinal Start date you will see that it changes your week numbers.

The Planning Planet Team,
Thanks for your kind suggestion BUT still you will not be able to show Week 0.

Hi there Mr Scheduler!
On the same window that you used to select "Ordinal Dates" you should see (at the bottom of the window) two selection choices...
"Units" - to choose weeks, months etc etc and
"Ordinal Start" - to change the start date (calendar days, referencing your ES, EFs). If you adjust this Ordinal Start date you will see that it changes your week numbers.
Hope this helps you.
Kind Regards
