Arcade Date Functions and Leap Years

GIS_Fox — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 17:20:14 GMT

Hi All,

I was curious if Arcade date functions are flexible enough to recognize when a leap year is present/active with code returning today or this month code lines without the need of leap year/common year conversions? 2023 is a common year and 2024 will be a leap year. I wanted to have a good head start before a leap year to prepare my code either for adjustments or test them in the playground on the developers site. All these code lines and parameters will be within a Dashboard environment returning indicators for values based on dates and times.

Thanks,

It considers the leap year.

I just did a simple test for you.

Google Result gave me the number of days until Feb 29, 2024 = 412 days

Added same no. of days in Arcade from today resulting in February 29, 2024.
