    Click on the cells you've used these formulas in and press CTRL-1 to open the format box, format the cells as Custom: DDD

    Also, Excel is pretty smart.

    If you type "Mon" into a cell, then grab the little black handle in the lower right corner of the cell and drag to the right, Excel will fill in days of the week.

    Changed format to DDD and only shows "value"
    I do not want to drag the day so that excel will fill in the respective cells with the days... I want to be able to put one day in one cel - and all the other cells will be updated
    Anyway, thanks so far

    If A1 contains the day of week as Sat, Wed etc. as text not a formatted date then you can use this formula to get the next day

    =TEXT(MATCH(A1,TEXT({1,2,3,4,5,6,7},"ddd"),0)+1,"ddd")

    If that takes care of your need, be sure to EDIT your original post (Go Advanced) and mark the PREFIX box [SOLVED]
