Want to do something really simple:

Given a date, determine what day of the week it is.

Does VBA have a DayOf Week (dToday) type function, 'cos I can't find it!!!! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

TIA,




Alex

Alex,

Use the WEEKDAY(<Date&gt function. This will return a code of 1 for Sunday, 2 for Monday, etc. More info is in the help file.

You can convert this number to the day (Monday, Tuesday etc) by using the IF function, you can nest up to 7 IF functions together, so ideal for day of the week (you only need 6)

=if(weekday(DATE))=1,"Monday",if(weekday(DATE))=2, "Tuesday"......,"Saturday"))

Drop me an E-Mail if you need to know exactly how to do it.

Thanks,

I just needed to know if it was a weekend, i.e. =1 or =7.

Next thing to do is add a 'button' or similar to a worksheet such that I can fire an event when a user clicks on it.

Any ideas?
