Default Day of week Fill down column not working

Make sure that you have calculation set for automatic.

Tools|Options|calculation tab in xl2003 menus.

Somewhere under the Excel Options in xl2007.

I've found many posts on this forum that are related where the
reccommendation is to use the =text(A1,"dddd") to convert a date to the day
of week.

However, nobody seems to mention the problem I'm seeing when auto filling
the formula down a column to convert a bunch of days. Instead of converting
the entire column A to day of week in column B ... it returns the same day of
the week for every date.

I even did a screencast to illustrate what's happening. Am I doing something
wrong here??
