Weekdayname

[Garry Jones]

I am using Weekday name.

(Syntax)
=WeekdayName(weekday[,abbreviate[,firstdayofweek]])

I have tried it in a form and in a query but it runs on all values and
not just the ones that are filled in. My problem is that some dates are
optional and I do not wish to run this if the field is empty.

How do I stop this from running on empty fields?

In queries?
In forms?

Any help appreciated...

You've given us the syntax from VBA Help, but you haven't given any of
your actual filled in values.
WeekdayName requires the day's number value, 1-7.
= WeekdayName(2,True) will return Mon.
= WeekdayName(2,False) will return Monday.

If you just wish to show the name of the day of a Date DATATYPE Field,
just set the control's format property to
dddd to get Monday
or
ddd to get Mon

or use
=Format([DateField],"dddd")

IIF(IsNull([YourDateField]) = True, Null,
WeekdayName(weekday[,abbreviate[,firstdayofweek]]))

Sorry, I didn't want to confuse anyone, I am on Swedish Access and there
are some differences in coding. Among other things commas are replaced
by semi colons in "if" formulars.

"IIF(IsNull([YourDateField]) = True, Null, " trick with some
modifications did the trick. Never seen the double "I" in IF before, it
translated to Swedish as a double O in OOM (om), the Swedish for IF.

Thanks for your help.
