Excel - Leave cell blank if no date
I am trying to have the day of week displayed in a cell only if there is a date present.
In the day of week (H4) cell I have =TEXT(G4,"ddd") which shows they day of week when the date is inputted into H4. However, when G4 is blank it is showing "Sat" in H4.
How do I make it so nothing shows unless a date is entered into G4?

You can use the following formula:
=IF(ISBLANK(G4),"",TEXT(G4,"ddd"))
ISBLANK will check if G4 is blank. If it is, it will display empty text; otherwise, it will display the day of the week.
Alternatively, you can use:
=IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(G4)),"",TEXT(G4,"ddd"))
This will check if G4 contains a number. This way it will display empty text if the cell is blank or contains text.
