Function

Result

Explanation

DaysInYear ( )

366

2008 is a leap year, therefore the returned value is 366.

DaysInYear (09)

365

The year 2009 is not a leap year and has 365 days.

DaysInYear

(Year("2009/09/09", "34"))

365

First the Year function extracts the year number (2009) from the given date using the format specified. The DaysInYear function then determines that the given year has 365 days and returns the integer 365.
