Is it possible in Excel to have a cell show text that is different from its value?
I would like to have a a cell that has the value 1,2,3 … or 7 but it will show day of the week as text – but when I use the cell value in formulas it should use the numbers!
Any suggestions?

You can indeed use conditional formatting, resonably simply:
Apply conditional format to one sample cell (using cell A1 as the example)
Create a set of 7 format conditions,
Then copy paste special format (or use the format painter) to apply to other cells as required
