because the second argument of each Cells is a Range rather than a
number or letter indicating the column. With that fixed and dates in
A1:B5, it changes B1:B5 to the values in A1:A5 and formats B1:B5 to
show only the year.

Appreciate the assist guy's

I decided to look at it slightly different and came up with the following:

Sub UpdateYear()

Sheets("Historical").Select

For i = 2 To 10000

sCell = Sheets("Historical").Range("B"& i).Value 'Source Value ("Date")
tCell = Sheets("Historical").Range("AF"& i).Value 'Target Value("YYYY")

If sCell = "" Then
Exit For
End If

If sCell< "" Then
Sheets("Historical").Range("AF"& i).Value =
Sheets("Historical").Range("B"& i).Value
Sheets("Historical").Range("AF"& i).NumberFormat = "YYYY"

Else
Exit For
End If

Next i

End Sub

It gets hung up and I have to interrupt the code to stop it.

So, some background on what it is I'm trying to do here.

If the intersecting Row of Column B has a Date in it, then the same
corresponding Row of Column AF = that Dates Value (Formatted as "YYYY")
and keeps doing this until the Loop hits a NullCell and exits the loop.

Thanks again
Mick.

Hi Paul and thank you for your idea.

It works well, but!

What it does is actually places a date format in sCell and the formatted
result although displays the "YYYY" result, alas it effect other
sumproduct lookups.

What I really need is the actual Number Value eg 2012, not the
Format(Date, "YYYY").value

I was kind of playing with this, hybrid of your code, but of course it
doesn't work:

Sub UpdateYear()

Dim sCell As Variant, tCell As Variant
Dim eCell As Boolean
Dim myValue As String

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With

eCell = False

For i = 2 To 10000

sCell = Sheets("Historical").Range("B" & i).Value 'Source Value
("Date")
tCell = Sheets("Historical").Range("AF" & i).Value 'Target Value
("YYYY")

myValue = Text(sCell, "YYYY").Value

If sCell < "" Then

tCell.Value = myValue

Else
eCell = True
End If

If eCell Then
Exit For
End If

Next i

With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End With

End Sub

Again, thanks for the assist.
Mick.
