Hi again, cheers biff, but it says 09 July 08 is a Monday!

If 09 Jul 08 means 09 Jul 2008 then the formula you got from Biff is not
reflecting the date.

Most likely, you do NOT have a real date in B1, but rather just a number.

For example, if you had the number 9 in B1, instead of the date 09 Jul 08, then
Excel would interpret the "9" as being equivalent to 9-Jan-1900 which is a
Monday.

That being the case, you could use:

=TEXT(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),B1),"dddd" )
