Default Simple Question, display only part of a date in Number format

Hi

This might be a very simple question to most of you, but I am a novice
user.

If A1 has date in the format 04-Jan-06, then how do I have B1 display
only the first two characters "04" in number format, which means 4?

Cheers
Sunny
