Hi Bhanu,

We can't use fields in default value formula.Rather modify actual formula defination like this. 
CASE (MOD (DATEVALUE( CreatedDate )- DATE (1900, 1, 7), 7), 0, "Weekend", 6, "Weekend", "Weekday")

Hi Bhanu,

If I understood your requirement correctly the formula looks like this. 
CASE (MOD (TODAY () - DATE (1900, 1, 7), 7), 0, "Weekend", 6, "Weekend”, “Weekday",NULL)
Please let me know if its useful.

If it's helpful mark it as best answer.

Thanks.

Bhanu,

try this if you want to display weekdate or weekend 
CASE (MOD ( CreatedDate - DATE (1900, 1, 7), 7), 0, "Weekend", 6, "Weekend”, “Weekday",NULL)

Try this formula if you want to display day of the week.
  
CASE (MOD ( CreatedDate - DATE (1900, 1, 7), 7), 0, "Sunday", 1, "Monday", 2, "Tuesday", 3,"Wednesday", 4, "Thursday", 5, "Friday", 6, "Saturday”, “Error",NULL)
