Use Text Function in your weekday formula.

=TEXT(WEEKDAY(A1),"DDDD")

The above function itself will result you the weekdays like this Monday,
Tuesday etc

If you want to show the weekdays in lower case the use the below:-
=LOWER(TEXT(WEEKDAY(A1),"DDDD"))
Result:- monday

If you want to show the weekdays in UPPER CASE the use the below:-
=UPPER(TEXT(WEEKDAY(A1),"DDDD"))
Result:- MONDAY

If you want to show the weekdays in Title Case the use the below:-
=PROPER(TEXT(WEEKDAY(A1),"DDDD"))
Result:- Monday

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!

I have a column containing weekdays derived from a date using the weekday

But I want the weekdays to be Monday, Tuesday etc. Anyway to do this as cell
formatting?


In all of your formulas, the WEEKDAY function is superfluous. It happens to
work, but only in the 1900 date system, because the first date in that system
is a Sunday. However, your formula will return incorrect results if one is
using the 1904 date system.
