That sounds simpler! I've never used convert and dateitems - what format would tdate have to be in?

I'm using the datetimetoJulian function in Sarah's great datetime

Sarah's stack say that it's possible to get the day number of the week by taking the remainder of dividing the Julian days by 7 but when I do that, I consistently get a day number that is 2 less than it should be
- that's assuming of course that day 1 would be Sunday.

I can always just add 2 to the day number but wondering if anyone
knows why this would happen?

Hi, Pete. Might your task be easier using "dateItems" as this example does?

function dayOfWeek tDate
  convert tDate to dateItems
  return item last item of tDate of \
         "Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday"
end dayOfWeek
