    Smile Formula to add 1 day (and return result of day NOT date)

    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to create a formula to add one day. For example: I run a report that updates nightly and I run it the subsequent morning for the prior day's results. I have an existing line that tells me that 9/1/15 is a Tuesday, but I'm trying to add another row called "run day" and I'd like that to populate as Wednesday (the day I run the report for Tuesday's results). Any ideas? Everything I've found only tells me how to return a date.

    Here is the existing formula to populate the actual day:

    Not quite sure what you're asking...

    If D2 = 9/1/2015 (Tue) but you want the cell to return Wed... just add 1 to the cell like this...

    =TEXT(D2+1,"ddd")
