Date to number

With my date of birth on an Excel spreadsheet how can I find which day of the week it was that I was born?

RE: Date to number

Hi Joanna

Thanks for getting in touch. The good news is that no special formulas are required, just a formatting change. Highlight the cell, right-click and choose Format Cells. On the Number tab click on Custom and edit the text in "Type". If you enter "ddd" you will get the day of the week in 3 letter format. If you enter "dddd" you will get the day of the week in full.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Display pictures on Chart Data Point

Replacing a single chart data point bar with a picture.
Step 1: Left click on a bar. Then, wait, and do a second single click on the bar. This will select just one data point.

Step 2: Right click on the bar and select Format Data Point.

Step 3: On the fill effects tab, choose a picture. Browse for a picture for that bar. Indicate if you want it to be stretched or stacked. Repeat for each bar.
