When you say > [@jumalcom222](#): > > How can I get weekday? sunday, monday… Which do you mean: 1. Current Day of the week? 2. Day of week for a particular date other than the current day (past or present)? 3. List of names of days of the week For #1, you can use the device blocks: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/7/87e09f7b187ed65775cc50186ceac178363e98e1.png) For #2, Thunkable does not have that feature, but as @eko.devs.apploroceo indicated, there may be a [Web API](https://docs.thunkable.com/web-api) you can use. That is a fairly advanced task. For #3 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/b/4b1bb3d8cc7ba6bd9b34096d7a42cef3e3e45a47.png) ---

The “current \> day of the week” block returns a value from 1 to 7: 1 is Sunday 2 is Monday 3 is Tuesday 4 is Wednesday 5 is Thursday 6 is Friday 7 is Saturday So all you need to do is create a local table to translate values to weekday names and use them in your app. K ---

Exactly what @Deluxe described. Just that I mentioned the use of a list of text instead of local table. ![weekdays](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/f/7f4dedbceab93baed7707a1fe1a9ae1f1fbeb547.png) ---

I solved the problem by your good tip… Thanks ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/b/1b0618ca2488f3b0302d213e226b24e5be273195.png) ---

Nice !! many ways to skin a cat… The fun part apart from solving the problem is to also improve the elegance of the solution. You may want to consider calling the “day of week” block only once, because any more blocks used costs time resources in the code. ---
