Examples
Assume that you have a form in which there is a date field question with the reference name date_of_birth. In the field, the user chooses January 31, 2000. The user is in the EST time zone.
- The expression DayOfYear($date_of_birth) returns
31
, because January 31 is the 31st day of the year. - The expression DayOfYear($date_of_birth, "PST") returns
30
, because in this example the time zone argument changes the specified date to Pacific Standard Time, which is January 30, 2000.
