    Isn't this the wrong emphasis?
    Rather than trying to cater for and work around different spellings in C1 by using VBA code, why not ensure C1 always contains the correct spelling by making it a data validation cell and listing the options available.

    In the cell "C1" will be copied data from diferent workbook and there not always spelled in same way, istead correcting it manually would like just ignore.
    If in cell i copied with the spelled "friday" or in other way it will not triger the macro, will triger just for "Friday".
    Im using this macro on
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Use the worksheet PROPER function to match the weekday names as spelled in your code, and assign the converted value to a variable.
