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

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?

Just curious, do you really need Julian dates? If you already have an existing date in a valid format, it should convert to the long date successfully. That has the alpha day of the week as the first item.
