Hey guys, hope all is well.  
I have encountered a glitch where when I try determine the label’s text, the screen preview doesn’t load. I don’t know why but it just doesn’t work. Here is my code and maybe something is wrong?

BLOCKS:

Nevermind. I fixed it.  
For those who are wondering, the device block to determine the date or time cannot be incorporated into the text types of blocks, which causes the glitch. So you have to do it manually like this.

There’s a much easier way to do that involving a list of values (“Monday”, “Tuesday”, etc.) and taking the list item # of that list to determine the day of the week. Same for the months, 1 through 12.

You can set the time format.

Here’s what I was describing:
