Incredibly annoying prob ->date conversion

This is really baffling me, its so simple yet I just cant do it.
I enter a set of dates in a field, i.e 22/10/01. What I need is a set of formula to convert that into a day number, and then, using a day sheet I have created (see screenshot), convert it into a day name. Thankyou very much in advance.

You might be making this harder than it is. Format the date as "DDDD" and it will display only the day name. If you need the day number i.e. 1-7 you can then get it from the displayed day.
