I haven´t found much searching on the net.

The case: One cell is filled out in date-format by the TODAY() function. How can I update another cell with the actual day as string? I´ve seen older examples by using CHOOSE func, or the the WEEKDAY() func formatted. Nothing seems to work for me.

  • What do you mean by "nothing seems to work for me"? Do you get an error message?

  • What have you tried that doesn't work? If you don't mention that, you're likely to get answers that suggest exactly that.

    Like the provided answer down here, as read on another site, that formel gives me an parser error.

    Are you using a language other than English? If so, then you need to use semi-colons instead of commas in your functions. That may be the source of your error.

This solution works for me:

=CHOOSE(WEEKDAY(A1),"Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday")

where A1 is the cell with the date.
