My boss has asked me to figure out how to input the date "5/8/14" and get "Thursday, May 8, 2014". She somehow did this before where she could simply drag it down and it would fill in the correct day of the week using google spreadsheets or excel but I cannot figure it out. Does anyone know how to do this?
