Formula for next day based on clock

:confused: My worksheet contains a formula to change the date in A2 to
Text in B2 indicating the day of the week. I need a formula in C2 that
would take the date in cell A2 and take into consideration the time in
cell D2. My company's day starts at 06:00 and runs until 06:00 the
next day. I want C2 to show the next day after midnight.

Example: B2 would show Tues for the date 5/31/2005, but after midnight
(in D2), I want C2 to show Wed.

I think the following formula will show the current day of the week and it
automatically changes with time:

=INDEX({"Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday","Sunday"},WEEKDAY(NOW(),2))
Today is June 1, 2005 then the result will be Wednesday. After tonight
midnight, the result will be Thursday....

Hope this is what you want.

Thanks Daniel,

Your formula works if I am making the assumption that the date I am
working with is today's day. However, I am working with static dates
of events that have happened and it may be that an incident occurred on
4/28/05 @01:30 am. I want B2 to show that the incident happened on Thur
(4/28/05 by company clock), that in reality it occurred after midnight
so it would read Fri in C2 (still showing 4/28/05 in A2).
