Date to Day

R

1.
if I add one to the Date it gives me date of the next day. How do I do it
for the days?
Example: 04-Jan in cell A1, on A2 I have =A1+1 gives me 05-Jan
if 'Sat' in B1, I want 'Sun' on B2 and so on.

2.
if possible I would like to have the cell B1 to show name of the day on a
date,
If A1 has 04-Jan, I want B1 to show MON or Mon and so on.

Thanks in Advance!

You may not be able to see your other post, so...

A1 = some date like 1/1/2010 (which is a Friday)

For the next day as a TEXT value:

=TEXT(A1+1,"ddd")

Result = Sat

If you want the long weekday name, Saturday, just add another "d" to the
formula:

=TEXT(A1+1,"dddd")

Result = Saturday

In B1 enter =A1 then copy down.

Custom Format the dates as you wish

ddd for Mon

You will never get MON via formatting.
