Created Day of the Week

Does anyone know a formula to show the day of the week a lead was created (ie monday, tuesday, etc.)?  I want to setup a workflow that will notify management when a lead has not been contacted within 24 hours of being created.  The problem lies in leads that are submitted over the weekend.

Try this:

Code:
CASE( MOD( datevalue(createddate) - DATE(1900, 1, 7), 7),
0, "Saturday",
6, "Sunday", "Weekday")

Fantastic!  Just need to switch Saturday & Sunday and it's perfect.  You saved me from having to try and wrap my head around  Zeller's congruence & Babwani's formula.  Thank you.
