Date question
Hello,
I am trying to create a formula that will give the result of "friday" if payday falls on a Saturday or Sunday. I am assuming that I need an If/Then function, but I am not sure how to do this with dates. For example, If payday is on 8/1/2009, it will give me the result of "Friday" Thank you very much for your help! |

Is this what you want? =IF(WEEKDAY(A1,2)=6,"Friday","") Of course, I do not know when your paydays are. |
