How to find the year from a given date

[User]

I would like to know the formula by which we can find out the year from the
given dates
Eg; Date of Joining coloum has 10/01/97, 05/06/2001 so from this i should
get the year as 1997 and 2001...
Kindly suggest some formula to help me out for the desired output

just to expand on somewhat brief DB's response

you may go to Format->Cells-Custom and format yr cells as dd/mm/yy or
dd/mm/yyyy accordingly

THEN try to use the YEAR function

or use formula for text:

=IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(A1,4)*1),PRAWY(A1,4)*1,"")

David will surely come up with a more handy solution...

HIH

oops, sorry, David must have noticed that already

the formula should read as follows:

=IF(ISNUMBER(RIGHT(A1,4)*1),RIGHT(A1,4)*1,RIGHT(A1,2)*1)

sorry

and thank you David for the pointing-out
