You can use the WEEKDAY function, which will give a number from 1(Sunday) to 7(Saturday), to indicate the day of the week. So say your date was in cell A2, then the function could be put into another cell, like this:

=WEEKDAY(A2)

You can also format the date to show the day in different ways. See the related question below.

First you need to extract the 3 parts from it for the year, month and day. After that you can use the DATE function to make it into a date. You can then format that cell into a date format. So if 20130113 is in cell A2, then in another cell you could use this formula: =DATE(LEFT(A2,4),MID(A2,5,2),RIGHT(A2,2))

If you have an excel template with automatic date you want that the saved document dont change the date only the template do is there a formula?

I you have a worksheet that updates the date in a cell to the current date, edit the cell to change to the date you want displayed. Most likely, the cell is using the formula =NOW() or some other date function to automatically assign a date to the worksheet. When you replace the formula with the date you want to display, your date will remain until you change it.
