Assuming your date is in cell A1, try =TEXT(A1,"dddd")

If you want a formula, would you like to try the following.

For today's date:

=TEXT(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),"dddd")

For any date that you key into A2 (e.g. 10/1/2006):

=TEXT(WEEKDAY(A2),"dddd")

You can key the formula into B2 to have "10/1/2006" and "Sunday" side by side.

See Excel Help for more details on WEEKDAY( ).

Hope this helps.

Yes, Roger, I would do the same too. I have been thinking why a formula is needed and the only situation I can think of is that this is within another formula. Any comments?

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
