Hello,

I have two columns with dates. Column A = Transaction Date and Column B =
Post Date. Is it possible to use a formula to identify those transactions (
A) that occurred on a weekend?

Thank you!
Cathy

Try this:

=IF(OR(WEEKDAY(A1)=1,WEEKDAY(A1)=7),"Weekend","Wee kday")

Hi!

One way:

=IF(WEEKDAY(A1,2)5,"Weekend","")

Will return Weekend if the date in cell A1 is on the weekend, otherwise,
returns blank.

If a date is in A1, then =WEEKDAY(A1,2)) will return 6 for Saturday and 7 for
Sunday. So

=IF(WEEKDAY(A1,2)5,"weekend","")

Barb, thank you for the quick response! That worked!!! When you have time,
would you mind looking at my other post from 08/19 (required fields with
comments)?

Thank you again!
