Hi !

I assume you want to check the day in VBA, not in an Excel formula.

You can use format(Date,"dddd") to give you the name of the day (or "ddd"
for the abbreviated day notation)
Example: format(Now,"dddd") returns Thursday, format(Now,"ddd") returns Th

Good Luck

Binzelli..

your solutions works, BUT using Format(date,"ddd") will give a localized
string... which might be a problem if you have users with different NLS
settings..
