To just extract the year they were born use =YEAR("08/14/1951")

thanks Ron, that worked. But when I copy the formula down the column, it's
not picking up the new dates of birth, only the original. Tried using F4,
but that doesn't work on this formula for some reason.............. any hints?
Thanks again
