DatePart

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

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.

DatePart is one of Sigma's Date functions.
