Default How to use year function?

What format are you using to show the date?

Is it showing as 28 June 05, or 6/28/05?

Anyhow, what's happening is that the number 2006, the result of your
formula: =YEAR(TODAY()), is the serial date for 28 June 1905.

The result of your formula will only be a 4 digit year number. What kind of
date are you expecting?

Thank you for your reply
I have checked the system's clock, and it is 30 Nov, 2006.
=year(today()) = 2006, but when I change the format for this cell to see
the date, then it shows 28-Jun, 2005.
Do you have any idea on this problem?
Thank you very much

Does anyone know why =year(today()) =6/28/05, rather than 1/30/2006?
Thank you for any suggestion
