I dispute that 1/1/2005 is the second day of the year

=A1-DATE(YEAR(A1),1,1)+1


if you really meant 2 just add 2 instead of 1 att the end

Hi,

Is there a way that I can get the day of the year returned in a cell
when I enter a date in another cell. So if I enter 01/01/2005 in A1, I
would like "2" to display in cell A2. I need this number for
calculations.

Thanks.
