DAYOFYEAR function

Returns an integer, 1 to 366, representing the sequential day of the year in datetime or expression. The DAYOFYEAR function uses the Gregorian calendar.

Syntax

DAYOFYEAR("datetime"|expression[,lcid])
datetime	Any string commonly recognized as a date and time or a reference to a cell containing a date and time.
expression	Any expression that yields a date and time.
lcid	Optional argument. Specifies the locale identifier to be used in evaluating a nonlocal datetime. The locale identifier is a number described in the system header files.
