Convert Date to Weekday

Hello,

I have a column field labeled "date" and I need an additional column field that can translate the date to the corresponding day of the week.

Example:

Date Weekday

2/18/2019 -----> Monday

I have the Date field, but need to populate the Weekday field, does anyone know how to do this? Thank you!

Try DateTimeformat(DateTimeParse([Date],'%m/%d/%Y'),'%A')

Hi @tessaenns !

Try this formula out:

DateTimeFormat([Date],"%A")

Your date field needs to be in Date format for the above to work. If it isn't, use the DateTimeParse function first, or the DateTime Parse tool.

Cheers!!

Thank you David, this worked beautifully! When the data type is set as V_String, the formula worked like a charm!

Simplest option I can think of is below. Then use Text to columns to split using Comma (,) as delimiter
