The RowDataBound event of the GridView can be used to setup the ToolTips as follows:

C#

//Create an array of Day Names
string[] dayNames = Enum.GetNames(typeof(DayOfWeek));

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) {
        string day = e.Row.Cells[9].Text;
        e.Row.Cells[9].ToolTip = dayNames.FirstOrDefault(n => n.StartsWith(day == "T" ? "Tu" : day == "S" ? "Sa" : day)) ?? "";
    }
}

Sorry, unable to work this code

Put a break point in the RowDataBound method and step through the code to see the problem.
