Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
You can do this

Formatting the cell to "dddd"

Sheet1
Cell Formulas
RangeFormula
D1D1=DATEVALUE(TEXTJOIN(" ",,A1:C1))


Or this:

Sheet1

RangeFormula
D1D1=TEXT(DATEVALUE(TEXTJOIN(" ",,A1:C1)),"dddd")

or this way
Excel Formula:
=TEXT(DATEVALUE(A1&B1&C1),"dddd")

Kudos to Felix.. I hadn't figured out the "dddd" bit on the end ! :)
