 fj(date)

fj(date)

Syntax

A Gregorian date. Format is specified by the built-in setting date order.

Return Value

Notes

• The difference between the d() and fj() functions is that d() requires a date to be supplied as three separate parameters, in a very specific format: yyyy,mm,dd, (such as d( 2015, 12, 25)). fj(), by contrast, accepts a single date parameter whose format is flexible.

• fj() uses the built-in setting date order, which uses 3 letters, m, d, and y, to determine the order in which the function expects the month, day and year to be present.

• fj() does not use the built-in setting date format. Instead, fj() is inherently flexible in the date formats it accepts.
