DayOfYear Function?
 

Is there anyway to return the day number of the year. For example, where
12/26/2003 would be = to 300.

DayOfYear Function?
 

If you try with 1 in a cell and then format that cell to date, then you will
get day number 1. Count the number of days from that day until the day from
which you want to start and subtract that number from int(now()).

Joe,

This should work, say your date was in A1

=DATEDIF("2003/1/1",A1,"D") + 1

With a simple formula, you could do something like this, assuming 12/26/2003
was in A1:

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

DayOfYear Function?
 

Hi Joe,

This function should do that:

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

If it's a programming solution you need, two possibilities could be:

Function DayOfYear(dte As Date) As Long
DayOfYear = dte - DateSerial(Year(dte), 1, 0)
' or...
DayOfYear = Format(dte, "y")
End Function

The second idea appears to be a "hair" faster, besides shorter.
