I have probably a simple question, I have a list of dates just like below. What I need to pull from this is just the day. Is there a formula where I can ask is you pull just the day from the date sting I already have.

Thanks for your help, but it does not seem to work, I need it to bring over the day of the week ed Tuesday, instead its shoeing me the day as a numner eg 21st

If your dates are serial dates formatted as dddd, mmmm d, yyyy:

=A1

formatted as dddd will give just the day. If you want the day as a string rather than a serial date you can use:

=TEXT(A1,"dddd")
