Converting dates into days
I have been playing round with the WEEKDAY function to convert dates in the
format 1-Apr-06 to digits referring to the day of the week (i.e. 1 to 7). What is the best way to easily convert these numbers into the actual days of the week (Monday, Tuesday). Can I use teh IF function- I started to try this but got a bit stuck: =IF(WEEKDAY($B2) =1,"Sunday"........ Cheers, |

Converting dates into days
Create a named table, DOW to refer to a 7 cell list with the days in them
Then where ever you need day of week as a text string use =INDEX(DOW,WEEKDAY(B2)) Alternatively if you just want to see The day of the week, then Format the cell as Custom dddd and just reference the cell with the date ie = b2 Steve On Thu, 01 Feb 2007 11:50:00 -0000, kippers wrote: I have been playing round with the WEEKDAY function to convert dates in the format 1-Apr-06 to digits referring to the day of the week (i.e. 1 to 7).
