Under format cells, number, custom format, enter:
ddd, d mmmm yyyy
to display April 1st:
Sun, 1 April 2007

ddd, dd mmmm yyyy
for this:
Sun, 01 April 2007

I don't know of any way to display ordinal numbers within a date:
Sun, 1st April 2007
as you have in your sample.

Is it possible to have a function where if you enter the date numerically, eg
'30/3/7'
it returns the DAY & date, eg 'Fri, 30th March 2007' ?

This would obviously work off the computer calander so as to ensure it gets
the day of the week correct.

Thanks
