    Given date returning day of the week

    Hi - have been trying to ascertain whether this is possible.

    I have two rows;

    1 = day
    2 = date

    What I'm trying to do is when I input a date in a cell I want the day cell (located directly above) to be (automatically) populated with the day (shown in text).

    I use Excel 2004 for Mac.

    Thanks in advance.

    So let's say in A2 you have 8/6/2007 (August 6, 2007). In A1, use:

    =TEXT(A2,"dddd")

    which will result in: Monday

    =TEXT(A2,"ddd") would give you just "Mon"
