Day in the Week, Month, Quarter, or Year

Returns the day in the specified time period for a given date. These functions answer questions like "do we close more deals at the beginning or end of a quarter?".

Example

Suppose that you want to see on which day of the week most deals are closed. Use day_in_week(date).

The resulting data displays the number of opportunities closed, grouped by the day of the week that the opportunities were closed on.
