TRYING TO RETURN THE DAY OF THE WEEK.
trying to get the Day of the week (ie. Mon, Tue, Wed) to return based on a date column. Tried this, but getting and unparseable error - what am I missing?
=IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 1, "SUN", IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 2, "MON", IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 3, "TUES", IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 4, "WED", IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 5, "THU", IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 6, "FRI", IF(WEEKDAY[Bid Date] = 7, "SAT")))))))
Snip of the columns;
Thanks!!

Hi,
Try something like this.
=IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 1; "Sun"; IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 2; "Mon"; IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 3; "Tues"; IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 4; "Wed"; IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 5; "Thur"; IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 6; "Fri"; IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 7; "Sat")))))))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 1, "Sun", IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 2, "Mon", IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 3, "Tues", IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 4, "Wed", IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 5, "Thur", IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 6, "Fri", IF(WEEKDAY([Bid Date]@row) = 7, "Sat")))))))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
