Default Date to a day (Monday, Tue, etc?)

I would like to convert numeric dates to letter days of the week. For example,
9/13/2005 would convert to "Tuesday" or "Tue". 10/20/2005 would convert to
"Thursday" or "Thu". 11/20/2005 would convert to Sunday" or "Sun".

Is there a way to do this for all dates in the current year and future years?

Formatcellsnumbercustom and ddd or dddd, if you want them in another cell
just link to the source and
use the same custom format

Hi,

You can use a formula

=Text(YourCell,"ddd") or =Text(YourCell, "dddd")

or

Format cells | Number | Custom | ddd or dddd
