I have a day entered in cell E2, and i am trying to write a formula to
return "T" if E2 is any value from Monday-Friday and "F" if not.

=IF(E2=OR("Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday ","Friday"),"T","F")

Could you tell me what's wrong with the above formula and how to
correct it.

thanks

Try this:

=IF(OR(E2="Monday",E2="Tuesday",E2="Wednesday",E2= "Thursday",E2="Friday"),"T","F")

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

If you want the formula shorter, I expect you could use:

=if(or(e2="Saturday",e2="Sunday"),"F","T")

A bit shorter:

=IF(OR(E2={"Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursda y","Friday"}),"T","F")

/ Lars-Åke

For this to work you have assumed that E2 always holds a name of a day
and is never blank. That was not stated but can of course be true.

If that is the case, this formula is even shorter:

=IF(LEFT(E2,1)="S","F","T")
