Hi There, Date Format / showing day name or initials

M Alsaqqa

Hi All,

I wonder if there is a way to make the Day initals (i.e. Sat, Sun, Mon...etc) show up next to the date in smartsheets?

Regards,

M Alsaqqa

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to get in the same cell, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a workaround, you could add a column and have it show there.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

It also depends on how the dates are entered. If manually, Andree's suggestion will work. If you are using a formula, you could add to it, but it would then render the date useless for future calculations.

I just realized that you could change the format of the date and at least include the name of the month or day.

Would that work?

Duh! The new date formats. There is one that works exactly as the poster describes... Ugh.

Andrée Starå

Exactly, Duh is the word!

Column you want the Initials =IF(WD1 = 1, "Sun", IF(WD1 = 2, "Mon", IF(WD1 = 3, "Tues", IF(WD1 = 4, "Wedy", IF(WD1 = 5, "Thu", IF(WD1 = 6, "Fri", IF(WD1 = 7, "Saturday", "")))))))

Helper Column WD =WEEKDAY([Date]1)

DATE Column

@Rodney Myers

You could also combine your two columns into 1 to save a little space if needed...

=IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 1, "Sun", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 2, "Mon", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 3, "Tues", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 4, "Wedy", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 5, "Thu", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 6, "Fri", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 7, "Saturday", "")))))))

Just use the WEEKDAY function directly in your nested IF's.

"Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." line on every form.
Hi, "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." is the very first line in the body of every form I create. I don't remember seeing it before (unless you missed filling out a required field; then you would see the message). Is there a way to turn it off or change it? None of my forms are in English so the message is…
