Hi, Try this revised formula as my last post contain some error Evaluate("=Text(Day(""" & Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(count, BarDate).Text & """), ""dddd"")") Hope it helps you Regards, Lalit Mohan On Wednesday, 27 June 2012 11:59:36 UTC+5:30, Lalit_Mohan wrote: Hi, Try this.

Evaluate("=Text(Day(Sheets(RawData).Cells(count, BarDate).Text), ""dddd"")") I tried it with and without the .text part. Both cases returned error 2015 though I have a 4 digit year and the form is month/day/year which is supposed to be what it wants.

I tried to use it without the = but it said the function TEXT was not defined. I need a method that works in a VB program with the value 6/26/2012 stored in the array previously listed.

If the latter the .net examples I found for that did not make sense to me so how is it done? -- -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
