Formating Day of the week
I have a monthly template that I use for scheduling. Once I change the month,
I have the worksheet formulated to change the dates. I then used a lookup table to add what the day of week is. I want to show the abbreviation instead of the whole word. I tried adding text(be,"ddd") to the formula but could not get it to work. Any suggestions. Thank you! -- Donna |

Donna,
Hi. How about =left(text(a1,"dddd"),3) which would yeield Fri if a1=today() 3 would be the # of chars to display I'm sure there are other ways. Not sure if this is what you wanted either.

=left(text(a1,"dddd"),3)
This will do the same thing: =TEXT(A1,"ddd") "ddd" = short weekday name format: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun "dddd" = long weekday name format: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ork" wrote in message ...

All of my stuff is free to use any, all, or part of as desired. There are some errors with some local sheet hyperlinks (I missed those), but the workbook itself is pretty good overall. Two, actually... http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101440991033 or http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/te...CT101440991033 |
