Auto input days of week

B

Hi, I'm looking to set up a spreadsheet where users enter new months
date in cell A1, I have worked out how to auto input dates down the
rest of column A but need to fill in days of week in column B. I'm
trying to automate process as not all users proficient with excel. It
needs to work for any month. Any help would be much appriciated.

Custom format Column B to:
ddd OR dddd
Then, in B1, enter
=A1

How about something like this:

=TEXT(WEEKDAY(A3),"ddd") copied down
for all week days

or

=IF(AND(WEEKDAY(A3)>1,WEEKDAY(A3)<7),TEXT(WEEKDAY(A3),"ddd"),"")
week days only, no weekend days

or simply
=A3 with cells formatted as "ddd"

If column A contains a calculated date that Excel recognizes as a date,
you can either...
1. Format the date cells in column A to show the day name as well as
the date, or
2. Add a formula to the cells in column B that simply reference column
A, then custom format that cell with "ddddd" to show the day only in
that column.
