AskWoody LoungerBraddy,
The syntax for the weekday formula is: WEEKDAY(serial_number,[return_type])
In your example your formula was =Weekday(E4). Your formula could have been WEEKDAY(E4,2). The return type of 2 would indicate that the return value starts with Monday whereas a 1 or omitted return type, the return value starts on a Sunday (see the table below)
Return_type Optional. A number that determines the type of return value.
Return_type Number returned
1 or omitted= Numbers 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday). Behaves like previous versions of Microsoft Excel.
2= Numbers 1 (Monday) through 7 (Sunday).
3= Numbers 0 (Monday) through 6 (Sunday).
11= Numbers 1 (Monday) through 7 (Sunday).
12= Numbers 1 (Tuesday) through 7 (Monday).
13= Numbers 1 (Wednesday) through 7 (Tuesday).
14= Numbers 1 (Thursday) through 7 (Wednesday).
15= Numbers 1 (Friday) through 7 (Thursday).
16= Numbers 1 (Saturday) through 7 (Friday).
17= Numbers 1 (Sunday) through 7 (Saturday).Example: E4=10/17/2016 is a Monday
=Weekday(E4,1) or just Weekday(E4) returns a 2 because Monday is the second day starting from Sunday
=Weekday(E4,2) returns a 1 because the return type of 2 specifies that Monday is the first day of the weekdays
Essentially, it is setting the starting point and returning the number of weekdays from that point.
HTH,
MaudThanks very much for your reply its much appreciated

AskWoody Loungerweekday(E4) returns 4 as 10/19/2016 is a Wednesday which is day 4 of the week. The fourth choice in your formula is Wednesday and therefore the value returned. Your did not specify the return type so it defaults to Sunday as day 1
HTH,
MaudHi thanks for your reply could you elaborate a bit on the meaning of return type please
Thanks

AskWoody LoungerWhat options do you get when you click on the Resolve Button drop downs?
Also in Control Panel > File Explorer Options > View tab, make sure the radio button nest to “show hidden files” is set along with the check box clear for “Hide extensions for known file types”
