FUNCTION TO RETURN "DAY OF THE WEEK"

I want a function to return the day of the week in text not integer (ie
"Tuesday"). I've tried the TODAY and WEEKDAY functions but must be doing
something wrong. Can you help?

or you could use:

=TEXT(TODAY(), "dddd")

your choice depends on whether you want the contents of the cell to be text
or numeric (my first suggestion).

In B1 enter =WEEKDAY(A1) will return the number 2

Format as Custom dddd to see Monday
