Year()

Extracts the month of the year from the specified date. This function takes a date and string value as arguments and returns an integer value. The month of the year is given as a value between 1 and 12.

Syntax

Year(<date>, <time_zone>)

Input

date

date

The date to get 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.

Output

integer

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 1, 2000. The user is in the EST time zone.

  • The expression Year($date_of_birth) returns 2000.
  • The expression Year($date_of_birth, "PST") returns 1999, because in this example the time zone argument changes the specified date to Pacific Standard Time, which is December 31, 1999 9:00 PM PST.
