Is there a way to report as an output variable the "day of week?" In my IDF the "Day of Week for Start Day" is a Thursday and I want to debug operation scheduling during specific days. For example, how can I quickly assess what day corresponds to 05/30? FYI: I tried formatting the cells in excel Home>date (custom date format) but that approach does not do the trick.

The Site:Location object has an output variable called "Site Day Type Index". Output values are integers that align with specific day types that can have unique schedule profiles.

1 = Sunday
2 = Monday
...
7 = Saturday
8 = Holiday
9 = SummerDesignDay
10 = WinterDesignDay
11 = CustomDay1
12 = CustomDay2
