    Excel Day of Week Formula

    Method 2

    If you want to return the day of the week as an abbreviation (for example, as Wed), type the
    following in the cell that you want to return the day of the week, and then press ENTER:
    =text(a1,"ddd")

    If you want to return the day of the week as a whole word (for example, as Wednesday), type the
    following in the cell that you want to return the day of the week, and then press ENTER:
    =text(a1,"dddd")

    Method 3

    In the cell that you want to return the day of the week, type the following, and then press Enter:
    =weekday(a1,1)
    Note The second variable indicates the day of the week that the week begins. For example, the
    variable "1" indicates that the week starts on Sunday, while the variable "2" indicates that the
    week starts on Monday.

    Dates that are earlier than March 1, 1900, may have inaccurate results.
