It sounds like your "date" is actually text with one or more leading spaces
in front of it. If I am correct, either convert the "date" to a real date
or, at minimum, remove the leading spaces, and Teethless mama's formula
should work. If you don't want to modify what you now have, then (again, if
I am correct) this formula should work for you...

=TEXT(TRIM(A1),"ddd")
