How do we get Excel to return the day of the week when we key in a date in a cell? Is there any formular for that or do we need to add-in anything?
How do we get Excel to return the day of the week when we key in a date in a cell? Is there any formular for that or do we need to add-in anything?
Thank you in advance,

Format the cell as ddd.
Can u elaborate further? I think you have mistaken my intention as I am not formating the date to display day of the week. Instead, I want Excel to return to me in cell B1 the day of the week by referring to cell A1 which contains date.
eg.. in cell A1 = 3/12/2007
in cell B1 to return Monday
if cell A1 = 5/12/2007
then cell B1 to return Wednesday.
As Shg suggested
In B1 enterThen right click cell B1 > format Cells > custom > dddd=A1

Gee.. thanks for that... so simple yet I am thinking toward the complicated way. :o
Another way, which actually returns text in B1, rather than a formatted date
=TEXT(A1,"dddd")
