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
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can also add a calcualted column in DAX.
DayNoOfYear = DATEDIFF ( DATE ( YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ), 1, 1 ), 'Table'[Date], DAY ) + 1
Not seeing Date.Dayofyear coming up in any function within BI
Just use DAX
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.

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
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
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!
Did you ever digure it out? Got the same problem.
I have to calculate Day number of Quarter and Day number of Month help me please.
