FirstDayOfMonth

Returns the ordinal (the day's number in the year) for the first day of the specified month.

Syntax

FirstDayOfMonth(date)

date

Any date.

Usage

Years from 0 to 29 are interpreted as 21^st century values. Years 30 to 99 are interpreted as 20^th century values.

When passing a date/time value as a string, make sure it is enclosed in quotes. Otherwise, it is interpreted as a number representation of a date/time object, returning undesired results.
