If M2 contains a date, I think you need something like this:

=IF(YEAR(M2)=2005,"yes","")

Hope this helps.

I have used this

=IF(M2=YEAR(2005),"yes","") or =IF(M2=YEAR(AA2),"yes",""). *The second
statement reference a cell w/ the year. *I do not get any field to be "yes"
which I know is wrong.

Please advise.

Eventually I will want to use "OR" which will look for 2005 in multiple
columns. *Thanks.
