    Hi

    The setup is not clear to me. However to evaluate the Weekday of any date you can use one of 2 functions:

    • Weekday function >> Returns a number from 1-7 (or 0 to 6)
    • TEXT function >> Returns text based upon the formatting you specify in the second argument.

    In your case , if you are evaluating the date in cell B12, then your function will be

    =IF(TEXT(B12,"dddd")="Monday","Non Working Day","")

     

    Your other issue of a cell referencing a wrong one, I need to check and audit your worksheet to fix it.

    Hope that Helps
