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...

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- Ukryj cytowany tekst -
