Default converting text into years

Hi,

I have one column of text imported into excel that looks like column A
data...I want to use a function that would give me whats in Column B, that
is, the year of the last two characters in col A...I tried the year function
and it worked for 1996-2000, but not for years 2001-2008...it gave me 2009 as
a result.

Any help appreciated very much

Craig
