Display weekday when date is MM-DD-YYYY
Hi Guys,
I'm looking to display the weekday in a cell, based on the date in cell A1. I know the code I can use is Code: =TEXT(A1,"DDDD") The problem I have is my dates are formatted as MM-DD-YYYY and I cannot change this. How can I amend the workday formula to represet and allow for this. Thanks Dave |

Display weekday when date is MM-DD-YYYY
You can use this conversion formula to get the day of the week:
=TEXT(A1,"dddd") Change cell address as needed. -- Kevin Backmann "Dave" wrote: Hi Guys, I'm looking to display the weekday in a cell, based on the date in cell A1.

Excel dates regardless of formatting are days since Jan 0 1900 so if you are
using a different format it doesn't make any difference as long as you are using what Excel interprets as dates If you don't the weekday using that formula then your dates are text strings and you need to make sure they are numerical by entering them according to your regional settings in your OS and then use a custom format -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Dave" wrote in message ...

No the day is not wrong, formatting only changes the display, then
underlying value of for instance Oct 22 2007 will always be 39377 and TEXT(39377,"dddd") will always return "Monday" -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Dave" wrote in message ... thats what i already said, but my dates are in the format mm-dd-yyyy so the day appears wrong. dave "Kevin B" wrote: You can use this conversion formula to get the day of the week: =TEXT(A1,"dddd") Change cell address as needed. -- Kevin Backmann "Dave" wrote: Hi Guys, I'm looking to display the weekday in a cell, based on the date in cell A1.
