Presuming you're using a newer version of Excel, select the field that holds the date and click the small arrow in the Number group on the Home tab. (see image)

There, you'll need to select the Date option, if it's not already chosen, and you can then choose the format of the date. This is one of them.

Hi,

Right-Click the cell Format Cells Custom
and Enter

DDDD, MMM DD, YYYY

and OK

or as a formula

=TEXT(A1;"DDDD, MMM DD, YYYY")
