real number
 

'RIGHT(TEXT(D21,"dd mmm yyyy"),4)

if your date is in d21 this will return the text number 2006, say...

you could then apply an IF statement to this

Since Excel stores dates as serial numbers, one way of determining if the cell
contains a date is to see if the cell is formatted as a date.

e.g:

=LEFT(CELL("format",A1),1)="D"

will be TRUE if the cell is formatted as a date.

So maybe something like:

=AND(LEFT(CELL("format",A1),1)<"D",COUNTIF(A1,"0 "))
