Convert date and time (00/00/0000, 00:00) to day of the week

Dear All, how do I convert the date and time (00/00/0000, 00:00) which is in one cell to the day of the week (i.e. Mon, Tue, etc.) in another cell? Regards, Chris

    Power Query Method

    • Format the Date into Excel Table using CTRL + T
    •  Check my table has headers
    • In the Get & transform Data of the Data tab, click on From Table/Range

     

    • Click on the Date dropdown in the Add column tab

     

    • Select Day and Name of Day respectively

    Final result in the caption below. Name of Day fully extracted

     

    Next, click on Close & Load in the Home tab

      Thank you Segei. Could you be a bit more detailed...
      What do you mean by:
      =A1
      custom format www

        First

        Stay on B1 and Ctrl+1, here

        use dddd format (sorry, I misprinted in previous post). Result is

        If you need weekday as text (not as dated formatted for weekday) you may use

        =TEXT(A1,"dddd")

        as here in C1
