0 Comments

Using the WEEKDAY function to convert dates to days of the week in Excel: In this article, Buffcom.net will introduce to readers how to use the WEEKDAY function to convert dates to days of the week in Excel in a simple way.

1. WEEKDAY function structure

Function syntax: = WEEKDAY(serial_number; [return_type])

Where:

  • Serial_number: required argument, the date that you want to find the day of the week.
  • Return_type: optional argument, a number that specifies the type of return value.

Note:

  • The function will return the error value #NUM! if the serial_number is beyond the range of dates.
  • The function will return the error value #VALUE! if the serial_number is not a number or date.
  • If the return_type is 1 or omitted, the function will return a number from 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday).
  • If the return_type is 2, the function will return a number from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).
  • If the return_type is 3, the function will return a number from 0 (Monday) to 6 (Sunday).
  • If the return_type is 11, the function will return a number from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).
  • If the return_type is 12, the function will return a number from 1 (Tuesday) to 7 (Monday).
  • If the return_type is 13, the function will return a number from 1 (Wednesday) to 7 (Tuesday).
  • If the return_type is 14, the function will return a number from 1 (Thursday) to 7 (Wednesday).
  • If the return_type is 15, the function will return a number from 1 (Friday) to 7 (Thursday).
  • If the return_type is 16, the function will return a number from 1 (Saturday) to 7 (Friday).
  • If the return_type is 17, the function will return a number from 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday).

Applying the above function structure, we have the following formula:

=WEEKDAY(A2)

Copy the formula for the remaining cells to get the results as shown below. Because we omit the return_type argument in the formula, the result returned 1 corresponds to Sunday, 2 corresponds to Monday… and 7 corresponds to Saturday.

Next, we convert the days to text with the following formula:
