Return number of days in a year

Hi - is there an easy expression to return the number of days in any given year?  So if input is 5/2/2018 - I would like 365 days returned.  Because of leap years, I want to make sure I get 366 days returned if a date falls within a leap year.

 

Thanks!

Hi @cireost 

 

You could use this -

Create the field of Year

DateTimeYear([Date])

 

Calculate the Days of that Year

 

DateTimeDiff([Year]+'-12-31',[Year]+'-01-01', 'days') + 1

Have no idea why these 12-31 keep showing up.

 

But instead of those, you may need to reference 12-31 and 01-01, end and beginning of the year.

Maybe we have to play "guess the offending word"

 

DateTimeDiff([Year]+'-12-31',[Year]+'-01-01', 'days') + 1

 

Edit:  It worked for me

The below sample is the one I have used for my Workflow logic. Hope this is useful.
