Using the default 1900 date system

That would be for Wintel machines. I guess the 1904 date system is the
default for Macs.

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
