Default Turn weekday number into weekday name

Excel gurus:

I found a function that returns a number from 1 to 7 representing a weekday. Is there a function that returns the name of the day instead? Or is there a function that turns the number into a weekday name?

Hi
Hardcoded:
=LOOKUP(WEEKDAY(A1,2),{1;2;3;4;5;6;7},{"Monday","T uesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday" ,"Sunday"})

Or a better idea. Say in cells G1:G7 you have the numbers 1-7 & H1:H7 you have Monday-Sunday.

=LOOKUP(WEEKDAY(A1,2),$G$1:$H$7)

If your week begins on Sunday then just Custom format your cell as "ddd"

The custom formatting works great also. Thanks to both of you.
