Hi,

I think what you want is
=Weekday(E3)
formatted as DDDD returns Thursday

Day(E3) would simply return 28

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

What's going on with the Day formula for 2010? I am working in Excel 2003
and the formula that I always use to pull the day of the week isn't working.
I thought it might be my spreadsheet but I tried it in a blank one and got
the same thing.

Cell E3 has date 01/28/2010 formatted as a date. Cell G3 references cell E3
with this formula =DAY(E3) and it is formatted as custom DDDD - so that I see
the day of the week. January 28, 2010 is a THursday and it returns a
Saturday. When I format as a date only I get January 28th 1900. What am I
doing wrong. It is not set to 1904 date system (when I do that I get 2014).
