I have a worksheet and the headers are labeled with the days of the week (Mon
thru Fri) only. The next header row is labeled with the month/day/year. The
user set this up whereas just changing the function would change the day of
the week to match the date in the row below it. How is this done?

Example:

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Mon
Tue Wed
12/1/2009 12/2/2009 12/3/2009 12/4/2009 12/5/2009 12/8/2009 12/9/2009 12/10

If you've got a date in A2, then if in A1 you use
=TEXT(A2,"dddd") you'll get the text Wednesday
=TEXT(A2,"ddd") you'll get the text Wed
=A2 you can format the cell as ddd or dddd.
