DatePart

The DatePart function extracts the specified date part from a date value.

See Sigma's Common Date Functions and Use Cases lab for more information about date functions, including use cases and exercises.

Sigma returns the result(s) in your organization's time zone. This may cause days, months, or years to appear offset, if the specified time zone is ahead of the organization's time zone. To view the output presented in the specified time zone, apply the ConvertTimezone function.
