Lesson 13 – Multiple Languages for day display
We use the TEXT Function to convert the dates by
specifying the language ID in the format argument of the
formula. For example:
=TEXT("1/1/2017","[$‐0809]dddd")
=Sunday
Where [$‐0809] is the language ID for English, and dddd
tells Excel to covert the date to the full name of the day.

Continue… For ease of use in the future, you can easily add the Selection Pane
button to your Quick Access Toolbar. You’ll find that option when you
right‐click on Selection Pane in the dropdown.
The Selection Pane allows us to see all the shapes on our sheet in list
form. This is especially convenient if our worksheet is large in area
and we don’t want to hunt for particular objects. The pane also gives
us the ability to hide and unhide shapes, or to bring forward shapes
that are overlapped by other objects.
