Use the text formula ie in cell A2 type =TEXT(A1,"DDDD""). Converts the date
in A1 to the full name of the day. If you only use "DDD" it will abreviate
the day name as Tue instead of Tuesday. Formula also works for Months using
"MMM"

Hi Stuart

FormatCellsNumberCustom mmm will give Mon mmmm will give Monday
Either apply this to your cell with the date (A1), or to another cell
which has the formula =A1
