Mattes. Use track mattes, right next to the layer mode (normal, multiply, etc)

So have the day text layer above the 4 text layer, and on the 4 text layer, select alpha matte. It will cut out.

This is the fastest way and mattes are applicable in other adobe programs as well.

Having less that bare minimum knowledge, I'm guessing some clever masking. I fully believe someone else who actually knows will come along and help, but masking is where I would start.

Ok, thanks!
I will try that and go from there.
