I am building a spreadsheet where I require a specific line of text which differs based on the day of the week which is shown in text in a cell at the top of the page.

The day and date in C1 is copied from the date which is input into A1 on the first sheet only, so on the Sheet2 it will use =SUM(Sheet1!A1)

So, if the day in C1 is a "Monday", I would like the text in B4 to show "Ensure all passes are validated"

The text in B4 will then change based on the day which is in C1 as follows:

"Monday" - "Ensure all passes are validated"
"Tuesday" - "Check gate 3C"
"Wednesday" - "Clear contents of all boxes"
"Thursday" - "Check door 9"
"Friday" - "Conduct vehicle checks"

I have tried a few options but can't get the correct outcome, not sure if it is due to the date being fed from another sheet?

I would really appreciate any help, I hope my explanation of what I am trying to achieve is clear.
