You can format cells to show the day of the week of a particular date. Select the dates or cells you want to format. Go to the Format Menu or press Ctrl and the 1 key. Then go the the Number tab and then scroll down to Custom. In the Type box type:
dddd dd mmmm yyyy
The dates you have selected will show the day as a word and also the month as a word. If I did that for today when I am answering the question it will display:
Saturday 12 December 2009
The dddd represent the day as a word. The dd represents the number of the day. The mmmm represents the month as a word and the yyyy shows the year. You can re-arrange them to show it the way you want. To get Saturday December 12 2009 you would put:
dddd mmmm dd yyyy
If you type the d or m three times instead of four, it will show the day or month with the first three letters only.
Actually, the answer changes from day to day. - You can do date calculations in Excel. Just put two dates in two different cells; in a third cell, subtract the two dates. The difference between two dates, in Excel, is the number of days elapsed.
Yes they can be. A lot of calculations are done on dates, like finding out how may days there are between two dates.
All dates on Excel have a numeric value. The 1st of January 1900 has the value of 1. All dates are counted off from that date. By giving dates numeric values, it is possible to do calculations with dates, like finding how many days are between two dates.
1108 Days. You can calculate it from excel. Just enter two dates into two cells & deduct one from other.
No. The dates appear to vary by 1 to 3 days either way, as seen from our calendar.
It returns the amount of days between two dates based on a year of 12 months with 30 days. It is a method used for some calculations in the accounting business.
You can use the Fill handle. Type any day of the week into a cell. Then put the cursor over the Fill handle and drag down or right. The subsequent days of the week will fill into the other cells.
my guess is 7 days
In Excel every cell contains what is seen (value) and what is not seen (formula) and in most cases these are the same thing. When you enter a date in the cell Excel recognizes this and instantly converts the date into a single number whose value represents the number of days from January 1, 1900. You can format the cell to still appear as a date but the formula contains this number which makes it easy to compare or sort against other cells also containing dates.
It lets you manage lists in Excel. You can set up special Custom Lists and do things like sort them or get calculations from them or get them to automatically generate themselves when you type in one value and then drag down. There are a number of in-built custom lists in Excel for things like days of the week and months of the year. You can work with data and use list management options to do things with the data, like linking with other applications and files.It lets you manage lists in Excel.

Arithmetic works with dates and displays the results as days, so just multiply the result times 24 to get the approximate number of hours between the dates (Excel default format for dates assumes each day has a full 24 hours). If your oldest date is in A1 and your most recent date is in A2, use the following formula to calculate hours between the two dates: =(A2-A1)*24.If you need to show exact hours between specific times for two dates, just format A1 and A2 to display both date and time (a standard option under cell format for dates SAMPLE: 1/1/09 12:00 AM).
It is a way of quickly putting in a series of values rather than having to type them in individually. If you type the name of the day of the week into a cell, and then start to drag down, Excel will automatically start to put the following days in. The same will work for months. You can do similar things with other kinds of values and even set up special lists yourself.
