Hi Swanav,

Say your date is in A1 then in B1 put =WEEKDAY(A1)
This will return a number from 1 to 7, 1 being Sunday
and 7 being Saturday.

If you want it to show the actual day then format B1 as
custom dddd

There are a few other options that you will find in the help file.

Here's another way:

A1 = 9/15/2006

=TEXT(A1,"ddd") = Fri
=TEXT(A1,"dddd") = Friday

Response time in these groups is measured in minutes, not hours! Although
there is the occasional stumper or poorly worded post that no one can
understand.
