Default Show Weekday with date???


Is there anyway to format the cell so when I enter a date the cell will
show the weekday along with the date? For instance, if I enter
04/04/2006 into the cell, the cell will show "Wed 04/04/06".

I'm assuming that you didn't mean for it to say "Wed", when 4/4/06 is really
a Tuesday.

You assumed correctly. I haven't changed my calander since yesterday.
Thanks for the help. Sometimes I overthink these little things and I
wind up not being able to see the forest for the trees.
