Week Day formula usage????

[Guest]

Hi,
Can someone tell me how to use WEEKDAY function??.

Ex:
Imagine A1 has March 17th 2007

The formula should finally say that A1 is "Sunday"

Pls let me know.

If you simply want to display date as day of week, CUSTOM format cell as
"dddd" (no quotes) (and 17th March 2007 is Saturday on my calendar))

Hi Toppers,
The below does not work, i want the cell / formula to tell me if its Sunday,
Saturday and if the date falls on a Weekday, i should say as "Weekday", Pls
let me know if its possible using Weeday formula??.

The WEEKDAY( ) function returns a number relating to the day of the
week - you could then turn this number into the name of the day using
something like CHOOSE, or LOOKUP.

However, an easier way is to put this formula in B1:

=A1

and format B1 using Custom to "dddd". Alternatively, use a custom
format on cell A1 as "dddd, mmm dd yyyy" to save using another column.

Hope this helps.

Saturday??????

If A1 contains the date (not 17th), you could just format the cell:

Format|Cells|number tab|Custom category
dddd

If you wanted to use another cell to return Saturday, you could use:
=a1
and format it as dddd
or
=text(a1,"dddd")

Try this then:

=IF(WEEKDAY(A1,2)<6,"Weekday",IF(WEEKDAY(A1,2)=6,"Saturday","Sunday"))

Hope this helps.

=WEEKDAY(A1,1)

Look at HELP on WEEKDAY function

The above will return Saturday for 17/03/07 if cell is formatted as "dddd"

The formula is:

A B C
1 03/14/2007 =TEXT(A1,"dddd")
=IF(AND(weekday(A2)<>1,weekday(A2)<>7),"WEEKDAY","")
2

Thanks and Have a great weekend,
