Day number of year

[Anonymous]

Trying to find the syntax for to return a numer out of 1-365 for what number of day in year it is vs just knowing the number in the month

Not seeing Date.Dayofyear coming up in any function within BI

[jo_at_price]

Just use DAX

[blodus]

Why should we have to creeate a DAX function for something so simple as Day of the Year?

God I hate PBI more and more every day I use it.

Just an additional application: I need to create a day number for a harvest year from 1-Jul till 30-Jun. Using solution from this query I did the following:

HarvYearDay = IF( 
            MONTH( DateTable[Date] ) > 6, 
                DATEDIFF( DATE ( YEAR ( DateTable[Date] ), 7, 1 ), DateTable[Date], DAY ) + 1, 
                DATEDIFF( DATE ( YEAR ( DateTable[Date] ), 1, 1 ), DateTable[Date], DAY ) + 185
            )

This is just to share if someone needs to do the same.

Check out the Date.DayOfYear formula. You would use this in the query editor to add a new column, either as a custom column using the formula, or the simple way through the UI: select your date column, then to go the Add Column tab in the ribbon and use the drop-down on Date to select Day > Day of Year.

You can also add a calcualted column in DAX.

DayNoOfYear =
DATEDIFF ( DATE ( YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ), 1, 1 ), 'Table'[Date], DAY ) + 1

OMG - does PBI really suck this much that this is what MS suggests? Makes me miss the overly complicated SSRS.

And the probably correct way for the day of the year is 

Stupid Column Name = FORMAT([CallDate], "y")

[blodus]

OMG - is this really the way to calculate the day of the year? I hate power bi more and more every day.

Ha 🙂 I just had the EXACT same reaction. Really?!?? If you can do it in M Query, why not replicate in Dax?
But then, you can't numerically set column widths, either. Or easily replicate a filter set up for HALF the visuals on a page (so NOT page level, NOT report level). Or dynamically name measures, or format all columns at once, or....
I miss VBA. But I also miss Fortran and Pascal, so guess I am a dinasour... 🐱‍🐉

If you have a date table that has all the dates between 2 periods you can also use this method 

Calendar_Day_Of_The_Year = RANKX(FILTER(Dim_Date, Dim_Date[Calendar_Year] = EARLIER(Dim_Date[Calendar_Year])),Dim_Date[Date], , ASC, Dense)

the example shows my date table as Dim_date. this then ranks the days of the year using the date. this can be used for any period ie, day of quarter / day of fiscal year, as long as you have a column which states the period.

Hello,

I was able to use this solution to calculate the day number of the year. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on how to calculate this for a fiscal year and account for the leap year?

My organizations fiscal year starts in October. I was able to use the DAX formula below to calculate the fiscal day number of the year but when leap years occur the formula does not calculate correctly. 

FiscalDayoftheYear = IF('Date'[DayofhtheYear]>273,'Date'[DayofhtheYear]-273,'Date'[DayofhtheYear]+92)

If anyone has any ideas that would be great! Thanks!
