DayName

Posted on January 25, 2019 By ANmar

Simplest way to get name of day as cell output from a date.

Because you can custom format a cell with date to show only that day name

This is not that.

It is to give the day name as cell output.

Using the default computer date settings, if D15 is the cell containing the date…

=TEXT(D15,"dddd")
