Programming routines

Microsoft Excel / LibreOffice Calc
1 2 3=TODAY()-DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,0) // or, for any date entered in cell A1, calculate the corresponding day-number in that date’s year: =A1-DATE(YEAR(A1),1,0)

Calculate today's day-number, starting from the day before Jan 1, so that Jan 1 is day 1.

Google Docs Spreadsheet
1=DATEDIF(CONCAT("1-1-";year(now()));today();"D")+1

Calculates the difference between Jan 1 and today (=days past) then add 1 for today's daynumber. (Your date format (1-1-year) may be different)

LibreOffice Calc
1=ROUNDDOWN(DAYS(NOW(),DATE(YEAR(NOW()),1,1))) + 1
PHP
1 2$dayNumber = date("z") + 1; date("z", epoch) + 1

You can use an epoch to find other day numbers
date("z") starts counting from 0 (0 through 365)!

Python
1 2from datetime import datetime day_of_year = datetime.now().timetuple().tm_yday
PERL
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9use Time::Piece; my $day_of_year = localtime->yday + 1; # ... or ... my $day_of_year = (localtime)[7] +1; # ... or (if you really want to use POSIX) ... use POSIX; my $day_of_year = POSIX::strftime("%j", time);

Replace time with other epochs for other days.

MySQL
1 2 3SELECT DAYOFYEAR(NOW()) // or SELECT DAYOFYEAR('2022-02-20');

Day number between 1 and 366. Replace now() with other dates.
