Another way: =VLOOKUP(WEEKDAY(F16),H7:I13,2,FALSE) where the date appears in
F16, and the table H7:I13 is a table showing the day number of the week
(Sunday = 1, etc. and the corresponding day)...

But of course this is much more complicated than JE McGimpsey's method....

Another way:

A1 = 1/1/2007

=TEXT(A1,"ddd") returns Mon
=TEXT(A1,"dddd") returns Monday
