Referencing year portion of date
Excel 2003 SP2
Win XP SP3 I want to compare today's year with a 4-digit number to see if they are the same. I tried formatting a cell as "yyyy" and then using =now(). This DISPLAYS the year, but if I try to compare it to the number I get a mismatch. Ultimately, I want to display "Updated" in a cell, if today's year is the same as the 4-digit number in the reference sheet. I'd prefer a formula over VBA code, but beggars can't be choosers, right? =) I'd appreciate any pointers to get me started in the right direction. Thank you. |
