Input

date
The date to get the day of the year from.
time_zone
string
(Optional) The time zone code. This argument specifies the time zone of the date. For example, if you want the date to be in Eastern Standard Time (EST), enter the time zone argument "EST". If you do not specify a time zone, the local time zone of the user who is completing the form is used.

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.
