    Yes. You can use the following function:

    DATE([Date Field], "EEEE")

    will give you “Tuesday”

    DATE([Date Field], "EEE")

    will give you “Tues”

    This website describes the various date patterns you can use with the DATE(X,Y) function:

    Hmm… I did test it before I replied just to be sure.

    Which version of Tap Forms do you have?

    Also, if you’re using the Mac version [Date Field] just represents the name of your date field. Don’t put the square brackets in there on the Mac version. The iOS version requires them, but will be automatically added for you when you select a field to insert into your formula.

    Make sure that the Result Type for your formula is set to “Text”.
