Converting Date to Day of Week
Is there a function that will take a date (eg. 10/20/05) and yield the corresponding day of the week? -- QuestGAV ------------------------------------------------------------------------ QuestGAV's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=17432 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=478135 |
Converting Date to Day of Week
If you an answer like "Thursday" then:
=TEXT(A1,"dddd") or you can use the WEEKDAY function to return the day of the week =WEEKDAY(A1) 1 = Sunday, 2 = Monday etc. Hope this helps Rowan QuestGAV wrote: Is there a function that will take a date (eg. 10/20/05) and yield the corresponding day of the week? |
Converting Date to Day of Week
Hi!
A couple of ways: A1 = 10/20/2005 =TEXT(A1,"dddd") Will return the TEXT value Thursday Another way: =A1 And custom format the cell as dddd Using this method the true underlying value of the cell is the date serial number but it's just DISPLAYED as Thursday.
