Does anyone know how I can obtain the actual day from a date in Excel. I want to create an ongoing list of days from a calendar within Excel.

Why can't spreadsheets drive cars? They crash too often!
Format the cell as "dddd" to get the day.

Or if you want to leave the original date and show the day in another cell, if your date is in A1, then use this formula:

=TEXT(A1,"dddd")
