Finding day of week in 2030

I have an Excel speadsheet which calculates the day of the week for Easter
from 2007 - 2050. Through 2029 Easter is always on a Sunday. For example,
in 2029 Easter Sunday is April 1. In 2030 April 1 should be a Monday since
it is a Sunday in 2029 and 2030 is not a leap year. Therefore, April 22 will
also be a Monday. However, Easter Sunday April 21, 2030, is calculated as a
Monday, not Sunday.

All of the Easter dates through 2050 calculate as Mondays.

I checked another Calendar program, and April 21, 2030, was shown to be a
Sunday.

I am using Office 2002, I feel this error should be corrected. Does anyone
know if it has been? If so, where would I find the update?

What formulas are you using to calculate these dates?

I suspect that you are not using the full century in your formulae.
Excel is set up (though you can change this) to convert years without a
century to 19xx if xx is 30 or more, and to 20xx if xx is less than 30.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, I didn't tell you how to change it - you can specify the cutoff
year (default is 29/30) from the Regional Setting control in the
Windows Control Panel. This would then apply to all Office programs.

Hope this helps.
