first letter of weekday
I am making a calendar, and need a cell that shows the first letter of the
weekday. i.e. M, T, W, T, F, S, S I have formatted with "d", but of course that gives me a number. I have tried =left, but that gave me the first number of the 5 digit serial number. I have tried "ddd" and then =left, and it keeps converting to a number. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Carla |

first letter of weekday
Right now, I have the initial "first letter of weekday" reading from a cell
in which I have typed 10/01/08. That works perfect. Along with wanting the letters, I also have numbers. I have the day numbers in cells across the page, 1,2,3 and so on and above each number I have the first letter of the weekday. I need to be able to either add 1 day in each subsequent cell to be the next weekdays first letter OR have the formula read from the corresponding days number cell.

first letter of weekday
Take a look at this thread:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...b-544e13fc26da This person set up a calendar, put the 1st day of the month in cell A1, then had the rest of the spreadsheet populate the date. You could follow this similar format. If not, post back. Also, as a piece of advice, when posting a question, try to ask all the questions that are similarly related at the same time :) -- John C "Carla" wrote: Right now, I have the initial "first letter of weekday" reading from a cell in which I have typed 10/01/08.
