Several ways to go, depending on exactly what you're intending to do with it
in C1.

Enter
=A1
In B1, and custom format to
yyyy

Enter
=Text(A1,"yyyy")
In B1

Enter
=Year(A1)
In B1

...
Is it possible to obtain just the year in B1 out of a whole date in A1 ?
I need to use the date in A1, in order to get a year, just THAT year in

B1, in
order to get a result in C1.
It is complicated but the whole date in A1 I use it for 2 other purposes.
and I need the year that happened to show in B1 in order to get a result

in
C1.
Also is a long data, but having A1,B1 I'll just copy down the formulas.
THANKS.
