I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
= IFERROR(IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 1, "Sunday", IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 2, "Monday", IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 3, "Tuesday", IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 4, "Wednesday", IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 5, "Thursday", IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 6, "Friday", IF(WEEKDAY(Date@row) = 7, "Saturday"))))))), "")
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

It might be easier to just show the day of the week using the format option...
