In Excel 2000, how can I calculate cell A9 to be 7 days from the A2

I am now using Excel 2000 where I work and I have been used to doing this in
Excel 2003

Regardless of Excel version: =A2+7 and format as date
If you meant 7 workdays: =WORKDAYS(A1,7)
best wishes

Thanks to you both, I guess that was too obvious. One other question: Is
there a way to have a cell equal to the day of the week in format MON, TUE,
WED, etc based on the date in another cell. I know WEEKDAY(A1) will give it
in format 1,2,4 but I would like MON, TUE, WED format, thanks

Actually, what I need is to have cell D2 to be the day of the week of the
date in A2. So, if A2 contains 16-Nov, D2 would contain SUN, if A2 contained
17-Nov, D2 would be MON, etc

Sorry for the confusion

I was just giving an example of the layout, in your specific case, you would...
D2: =TEXT(A2,"ddd")

That answers my question. Could you explain how that works. I know
TEXT(A2,"ddd") converts the value in A2 to text format. What does the "ddd"
tell it?
Thanks

TODAY() ?
