DOY()
Determines the day of the year for a specific date
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
DOY([<dDate>]) --> nDayOfYear
Argument
<dDate> Designates which date to use to calculate the day of the
year. The default is the system date.
Returns
DOY() returns a calendar day number that specifies which day of the year
<dDate> represents.
Description
If you frequently work with time periods, then this function is quite
useful. DOY() lets you assign a calendar day number to a date that
relates to the beginning of the year.
Note
. When no date is specified, DOY() uses the system date.
January 1 is always 1, December 31 is 366 in a leap year; otherwise,
it is 365. An empty date returns a 0 result.
Example
How long is it until Christmas?
? "There are", NTOC(DOY(CTOD("12/24/91"))- DOY()) ;
, " days until Christmas!"
