Solution

The formula =weekday(A1)=2 is used to determine if the date in cell A1 falls on a Tuesday. Here's a breakdown of how it works:

  1. Understanding the WEEKDAY Function:

    • The WEEKDAY function returns a number representing the day of the week for a given date. By default, it assigns:
      • 1 for Sunday
      • 2 for Monday
      • 3 for Tuesday
      • 4 for Wednesday
      • 5 for Thursday
      • 6 for Friday
      • 7 for Saturday
  2. Analyzing the Formula:

    • The condition =weekday(A1)=2 checks if the WEEKDAY function returns 2, which corresponds to Monday (not Tuesday).
  3. Correction:

    • To check if the date is a Tuesday, the correct formula should be =weekday(A1)=3.

Final Answer

The original formula only correctly accepts Monday as the day of the week. To validate Tuesday, use =weekday(A1)=3.
