Automate Day based on chosen date
Hi users!
I have a coloum that the user selects the date for a particular job. The following Column requires that DAY of the week to be selected.
Ie: if I choose the date 19/12/16, i then have to maually select 'Monday' from the drop down list.
Is there a way to automate that day of the week based on which date I select in the drop down calender?
Will make it alot quiker and more error proofed, especially if we change the date but forget to change the day.
Thanks heaps

The weekday formula returns the day of the week, like sunday =1, monday =2, etc... so in your weekday column you could add an if formula that references the date column like this (just replace my [Start Date]18 with the right cell in your worksheet and I think this will do the trick):
=IF([Start Date]18 = "", "", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 1, "Sunday", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 2, "Monday", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 3, "Tuesday", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 4, "Wednesday", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 5, "Thursday", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 6, "Friday", IF(WEEKDAY([Start Date]18) = 7, "Saturday"))))))))
