How can I convert a date into a day of the week in Excel using the TOROW function?

The TOROW function in Microsoft Excel allows users to convert a given date into the corresponding day of the week. This function is particularly useful for organizing and analyzing data, as well as creating schedules and calendars. By simply inputting a date into the TOROW function, Excel will automatically return the day of the week that the date falls on. This eliminates the need for manual calculations or referencing external calendars. With the TOROW function, users can efficiently and accurately determine the day of the week for any given date.

Returns the array in a single row.

Syntax

=TOROW(array, [ignore], [scan_by_column])

The TOROW function syntax has the following arguments:

array       The array or reference to return as a row.

ignore       Whether to ignore certain types of values. By default, no values are ignored. Specify one of the following:

  • 0    Keep all values (default)

  • 1    Ignore blanks

  • 2    Ignore errors

  • 3    Ignore blanks and errors

scan_by_column       Scan the array by column. By default, the array is scanned by row. Scanning determines whether the values are ordered by row or by column.

Remarks

If scan_by_column is omitted or FALSE, the array is scanned by row; If TRUE, the array is scanned by column.

Errors

  • Excel returns a #VALUE! when an array constant contains one or more numbers that are not a whole number.

  • Excel returns a #NUM when array is too large.

Returns a single row from the array in range A2:D4 scanned by row which is the default.
