String. Returns a string whose value is the name of the weekday (Sunday, Monday, and so on) for date.
Usage

If you have installed localized deployment files in the development environment or on a user's machine, then on that machine the name returned by DayName will be in the language of the localized files.
Examples
This expression for a computed field returns Okay if the day in date_signed is not Sunday:
