WEEKDAY FUNCTION
To determine the weekday of a specific date in
Microsoft Excel, you can use the WEEKDAY
function. This function returns a number that
corresponds to the day of the week for a given
date.
Basic formula of WEEKDAY looks like this:

=WEEKDAY(date, [return_type])
date: The date you want to find the day for. You can enter
a date directly (like "2024-09-02") or refer to a cell that
contains a date (like A1).
return_type: This is optional. It tells Excel how you
want the days of the week to be numbered:
• If you leave it blank or use `1`, Excel will
return:
- Sunday = `1`
- Monday = `2`
- Tuesday = `3`
- and so on, up to Saturday = `7`.
• If you use `2`, Excel will return:
- Monday = `1`
- Tuesday = `2`
Common return_type
Options:
Return Descriptio Sunda Monda … Saturda
Type n y y y
1. 1 Sunday = 1 2 … 7
(Default 1, Monday
) = 2, ...,
Saturday =
7
2. 2 Monday = 7 1 … 6
“ “ 1, Tuesday
= 2, ...,
Sunday = 7
3. 3 Monday = 6 0 … 5
“ “ 0, Tuesday
EXAMPLE
1. Find the Weekday Number for a Date
in Cell A1
Let's say cell A1 has the date 2024-09-02
(September 2, 2024).
To find out what day of the week it is, you
can
Datewrite: Weekday Since the formula uses
‘1’ as the default
2024-09-02 =Weekday(A1,) setting, this will return
‘2’ (because September
Date Weekday 2, 2024, is a Monday,
2024-09-02 =2 and Monday is
represented by 2).
EXAMPLE
2. Get the Day name Directly
Let's say cell A1 has the date 2024-09-02
(September 2, 2024).
To find out what day of the week it is, you
can
Datewrite: Weekday
2024-09-02 =Text(A1,
“dddd”)
Date Weekday
This will display
2024-09-02 =Monday "Monday“ instead
of ‘2’
