Assuming your date is in cell A1, try =TEXT(A1,"dddd")

If you want a formula, would you like to try the following.
For today's date:
=TEXT(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),"dddd")
For any date that you key into A2 (e.g. 10/1/2006):
=TEXT(WEEKDAY(A2),"dddd")
You can key the formula into B2 to have "10/1/2006" and "Sunday" side by side.
See Excel Help for more details on WEEKDAY( ).
Hope this helps.

Yes, Roger, I would do the same too. I have been thinking why a formula is needed and the only situation I can think of is that this is within another formula. Any comments?
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
