If the cell has the date, just link directly to the cell and format as
"dddd":

A1: Monday, December 12, 2005
B1: =A1

Format B1 with Format/Cells/Number/Custom "dddd"

Something like this any good?

A1 =NOW()

B1 =YEAR(A1)
C1 =MONTH(A1)
D1 =DAY(A1)
E1 =HOUR(A1)
F1 =MINUTE(A1)
G1 =SECOND(A1)

You have different options depending on what you need.

=TEXT(A1,"dddd")
will return Monday as a text string

=A1
formatted as
dddd
will show as Monday, but the cell value will be equal to the date

=DAY(A1)
will return 12 (the twelth day in the month)

=WEEKDAY(A1)
will return 2 (the second day in a week; Sunday=1)

Hope this helps.
