Default How to hide day

Hmmm...

To answer your question, try it like this:

=IF(F1="","",TEXT(F1,"dddd"))

You must be using a date format of d/m/yy. Also, you must be using the 1904
date system. Using the default 1900 date system an empty cell will evaluate
to weekday Saturday. Using the 1904 system an empty cell evaluates to
weekday Friday.

I have this equation.
=Text(f1,"DDDD") Which comes out as 3/1/08 Thursday.
How do I get it to come up blank till I put in a date.
At the moment it comes up like this.
3/1/08 Thursday
Friday
Friday
Thanks in advance Larry
