Convert date to day name?

I need to display a date format that looks like:
Wednesday, May 9.

=IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=1,"SUNDAY", IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=2,"MONDAY", IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=3,"TUESDAY", IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=4,"WEDNESDAY", IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=5,"THURSDAY", IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=6,"FRIDAY", IF(WEEKDAY(I30)=6,"SATURDAY",)))))))

Also
Assuming your date is A1, this should work as well"
=TEXT(A1,"dddd")&", " & TEXT(A1,"mmmm") & " "&TEXT(A1,"dd")
Good luck

Wanna use a custom format?
If so, use: dddd, mmm d

Re: Also
One too many d's, try
=TEXT(A1,"dddd") & ", " & TEXT(A1,"mmmm") & " "&TEXT(A1,"d")
to avoid it show the date as 09 instead of 9.
I think Mark's idea of a custom format will probably be best.

Do you want May or May?
Where by formula or format, if you want to show the full name of the month, use four m's. Three m's will get you Jan, Feb, Mar... whereas four will return January, Febuary etc...

I'm convinced he wants May : )
