Hi there, hope everyone is well.
I am trying to figure out the most efficient way to extract the day from a date. In the attached book you will see I have a date in column A; I want to add a column that displays the day of the week as a text value, that the date field in column A represents. So for example if the date in column A is "7/24/2019" I want to have the text value "Wednesday" displayed in a separate column.
I have been messing with the TEXT function but can't get it to work. Can someone help?
Many thanks,
Alan

Hello Alan,
Check out this blog article for more tips and guidance.
The formula you want is =TEXT([@[Extract Date]],”dddd”)
