DOY2DATE

Purpose:

Converts day of year (DoY) values to date values.

Syntax:

DOY2DATE(date, year)

(date, time) = DOY2DATE(doy, year)

date

-

An integer or series, the input day of year.

year

-

Optional. An integer or series. The year for each DOY value. If a single value, the year is used for each DOY value. Defaults to the current year.

Returns:

A series or array of date values.

 

(date, time) = DOY2DATE(doy, year) returns the date and time in two separate variables.

Example:

W1: doy2date(1, 2030)

 

W1 == {1/1/2030}

 

W1 represents the date of the first day of 2030.

Example:

W1: doy2date(1.5, 2030)

 

W1 == {{1/1/2030}, {12:00:00}}

 

W1 represents the date and time of the first day of 2030 at noon.

Example:

(d, t) = doy2date(1.5, 2030)

 

d == {1/1/2030}

t == {12:00:00}

 

Same as above, except the date and time values are returned in two separate variables.

Example:

W2: ymd2date({{2030, 1, 1},

              {2030, 2, 1},

              {2030, 3, 1},

              {2030, 4, 1}})

W3: date2doy(w2)

W4: doy2date(w3, 2030)

 

W3 == {1, 32, 60, 91}

W4 == {1/01/2030, 2/02/2030, 3/01/2030, 4/01/2030}

 

Demonstrates that DATE2DOY and DOY2DATE are inverse functions.

Remarks:

DOY2DATE converts a day of year value the equivalent date series. Each input day of year is an integer between 1 and 366 where 1 represents day 1 or January 1.

 

If DOY is fractional, DOY2DATE also returns a time value representing the fraction of the day elapsed.

 

See DATE2DOY to convert a date series to the equivalent day of year series.
