Peter,

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

1- The date in January.$A5 is 12/27/2021. You can see that by formatting cell 
January.$A5 as date. 

2- The date is internally represented as number 44557. You can see this by 
formatting January.$A5 as number.

3- To get the day of the month use formula =DAY(January.$A5)

4- Your formula generates a error because you try to do arithmetic with a 
string (“Monday “). Use ‘&' i.s.o. ‘+’ to append.
        The formula then becomes:

="Monday      “&DAY($January.$A5)

To het the weekday of the specified day use the next formula:

=TEXT(WEEKDAY($January.A5);"NNN")&"           "&DAY($January.A5)

Success,
Rob.
