try these cell formulas:

=TODAY() 'gets you the date
=NOW() 'gets you the date and time
=WEEKDAY(serial number, return type) 'gets you the day of the week as
an index number; see Help

then try this formula:

=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(TODAY(),1), "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday",
"Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday")
