Today I learned a few tricks in Excel which are pretty fascinating.

WORKDAY

Today my coworker need to add some delay to an existing date (more like adding the number of days processing the order on top of the order receiving date). It could work as a simple addition by adding a number to any date cell. However, my coworker insisted on using a function called WORKDAY which I have never seen before. It turned out to be such a simple concept while providing a scenario more realistic – most people don’t work during weekends 🙂

Format Weekday

Another thing that I realized in Excel is the various ways of formatting dates. One way to extract day of the week is by simply using the format and use ddd (Wed) or dddd (Wednesday).
