[Solved] Day of the week calculations (Calc)

[sid_patelson]

I have a spreadsheet containing a column of dates of the form mm/dd/yyyy. I would like to be able determine how many of these dates are "Mondays", "Tuesdays", "Wednesdays" etc. That is to say I would like to count how many of these dates fell on Monday, Tuesday etc.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you all for your help. All of the solutions worked. Given the number of entries in the spreadsheet the solution that didn't require an extra column was the easiest to implement.

In my opinion, you need to use the "Weekday(Date;Type)" and "Countif(Range;Parameter)" functions.
(See them in OOo Help.)

Or, once you have a column containing the Weekday(Date;Type) function, you can use Data Pilot to get a report of the frequencies.

With a matrix formula you can do it without an extra column, next the Zizi64 file with the formula added.
