Hi,

Im having trouble changing the days from numbers to actual days. Currently the days are listed as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 but I want to change those to the actual Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc..  
I used the code `doc[''].value.getDayOfWeek()`but always get the number instead of the actual days.

Should I change the code- or use an entirely different code?

Hi,

You can use a Static Lookup formatter.

- Go to Management \> Index Patterns.
- Press the edit icon on the field that you wish to format.
- Choose the "Static Lookup" format and add options that map your numeric values to string.
- After saving (and maybe refreshing), the field will display the string values across all applications.
