Calculating the day of the year in Google Sheets is a simple process that can be done using the DATE function. First, create a cell for the desired date and use the DATE function to input the year, month, and day in the correct order. Then, subtract the DATE function from January 1st of the same year. This will give you the day of the year for the date entered. This method can be used to quickly and accurately calculate the day of the year for any date in Google Sheets.
