run different macro depending of the day of the week

[Tim]

Hi All,

What i am trying to do is to run different macro depending of the day of the
week.
For this purpose in cell A1 i typed the formula =now() and then right
clicked on cell A1/Format Cells/Number/Category:Custom/and in the Type:
typed: dddd .
After that in cell A1 is the word Monday.
In cell B1 i type this formula: =IF(A1="Monday",1,"") BUT it looks the
formula in B1 doesn’t recognize the word Monday in cell A1 because after i
press Enter
cell B1 remains empty not 1 as it should be. I also tried to copy cell A1
and paste special as values in cell A2 and then changed the formula in B1 to
=IF(A2= 38789.66795,1,"") but the formula still doesn’t work.
Does anybody now how to do this?

one way:

=IF(WEEKDAY(A1)=2,1,"")

This would depend on the settings on your computer. This assumes that
Sunday is the first day of the week.
