# EOYEAR

The EOYEAR function takes the date as input and returns the ending date of the year. Node references and measures are also accepted as input arguments. Use [DATE.SET()](https://docs.inforiver.com/~/changes/mS6jwvARNLHpKqBa4cT9/formula-syntax/date-functions/date.set) to set the format of the output date.

Optionally, you can specify an offset for the return date, which may be a positive or negative number. Additional years are added to or subtracted from the end date depending on the offset value.
