Use Paste special<br />
click on values only

Using &quot;values only&quot; still leaves the underlying (02/12/2014) as the value in the cell. The display is correct, but I need the value to be the day of the week as well.

@Raheman Mohammed Abdul: in this case, Paste Special-&gt;Values will get you the numeric value of the date. Not the day of the week.

I have an Excel 2007 spreadsheet with a column of dates (example: 02/12/2014). I have formatted that column to reflect the day of the week, (ie. Mon, Tue, ...) I now want to copy the formatted <u>value only</u> and paste it into a new column. I don't want the underlying date to be part of that new column, just the day of the week.<br />

How do I accomplish this?
