yearBegin

Syntax

yearBegin(X, [startingMonth=1], [offset], [n=1])

Arguments

X is a scalar/vector of data type DATE, DATEHOUR, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP or NANOTIMESTAMP.

startingMonth is an integer between 1 and 12 indicating a month. The default value is 1.

offset is a scalar of the same data type as X. It must be no greater than the minimum value of X. The default value is the minimum value of X.

n is a positive integer. The default value is 1.

Details

Return the first day of the year that X belongs to and that starts in the month of startingMonth.

If parameter offset is specified, the result is updated every n years. Parameter offset works only if parameter n>1.
