Is there a simple function that will display a date showing the day of the week. For example, if I input 1/8/05 in a cell, could it display as
Monday, 1-Aug-2005

check <format<Cells<Number Date for options
This is display only

I don't see any option under format/number/date to display the name of the day.

mjd

=WEEKDAY() will return a number representing a day of the week (eg 1 =
sunday, 2 - monday etc)

You could then use a lookup or if statement to turn this into the name
of the day.
